A personal finance question is circulating asking people to guess how many autopay mandates are active on their bank accounts before checking. The claim is that most people undercount, forgetting streaming, music, cloud storage, insurance and abandoned free trials still billing quietly. An Android app called Spendzie is being promoted as a way to list recurring mandates from bank SMS messages.
Why now: People are being prompted to audit forgotten recurring charges, a relatable money worry that encourages checking their own accounts.
