Most people underestimate their live autopay subscriptions
Original: How many autopay mandates are live on your account right now? Guess first, then check your bank app or SMS. Most people
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.
