Notifications and reminders

What it is

Lipi notifications are alerts about your money. Every alert goes to an in-app inbox. You can also get it as a push notification on your phone or computer, and some as email. They cover budgets, loan EMIs, low balance, daily expense reminders, spending digests, currency and price alerts, invoices, sharing and account security. It is free.

What problem it solves

Money apps only help when you hear from them at the right moment. A reminder before an EMI is due avoids a late fee. A budget alert lets you slow down before the month ends. A daily nudge keeps your records complete. One setting screen lets you pick which of these you want.

How it works

1. Tap the bell icon on any page to open the inbox, or open Notifications. Use All or Unread, filter by type with All types, and tap Mark all read. When nothing is new you see “You’re all caught up”.
2. On a phone the inbox works the same way.
3. Open Settings, then Notifications, and tap Enable push notifications to allow alerts on this device.
4. Under What to send by push, switch each type on or off. Set the Spending summary time and the daily reminder time. Use Do not disturb to pause push. The inbox still keeps everything.
5. In the Email section choose what you also want by email. Under the alert sections, set your target currency rates and target prices.
