About Hedge

What is envelope budgeting?
Envelope budgeting is a simple idea: give every dollar a job before you spend it. Traditionally you'd put cash into labelled envelopes — groceries, rent, petrol — and stop spending from each when it was empty. Hedge brings that clarity into your bank: digital envelopes, automatic balance tracking, and no cash shuffling required.
What makes Hedge different?
Hedge is built for New Zealand from the ground up. It connects to NZ banks, fits NZ pay cycles, and skips the global-app workarounds that don't quite match how money actually moves here. Our focus is clarity — a budget you can read at a glance, not a dashboard stuffed with charts.
Is Hedge financial advice?
No. Hedge is a budgeting tool — it helps you see and manage your money. For personalised financial, tax, or investment advice, please talk to a licensed adviser. See our Terms for more detail.

Data & security

Is my financial data secure?
Yes. We use industry-standard encryption in transit, strict access controls, and privacy-respecting analytics that route through our own first-party domain. Read the full detail in our Privacy Policy.
Is my data sold or used to target ads?
No. We don't sell your personal information, and we don't use your financial data to target you with third-party advertising. Those commitments live in our Privacy Policy.
Can I export my data?
Always. Export is a first-class feature — you own your data, and you can take it with you at any time.
