DebtGoal now gives you the option to link your debt accounts with your DebtPlan. With AccountLink, your account information will automatically be downloaded, giving you the peace of mind and time to focus on managing your pay-down plan instead.
What is AccountLink?
When you set up your DebtPlan the first time, we establish a connection with your Financial Institution to automatically receive your statement information every month. You need to establish the connection only once, after which the system securely updates on its own every month. Click here to learn more about how to set up AccountLink in your DebtPlan.
DebtGoal will keep track when your balances or APRs change and will alert you when payments come due.
Which is better – AccountLink or managing accounts manually?
Our key objective is to provide you with a program that best helps you understand your debt situation and track your pay-down progress. By giving you the choice to use AccountLink or manually add accounts, we are ensuring that you have the ability to add ALL kinds of debt to your DebtPlan. AccountLink is a convenient way of keeping track of your DebtPlan. It is fast, easy and secure. However, if you cannot use AccountLink for all your debt accounts for any reason, you can add them manually.
We expect that most DebtGoal users will have a combination of AccountLink and manual accounts. All users will have access to the same tools and advice in DebtGoal, ireespective of whether they have used AccountLink or update their accounts manually.
How do I set up an account manually?
You can choose to add accounts manually if your Financial Institution is not supported, you do not have an online account or if you want to include other personal debt like loans from friends & family or medical debt. To manually add an account, select ‘Add Account Manually’ link at the bottom of the Add Account page. Every time you receive a new statement, you can update your DebtPlan with the new information and continue to track progress.
