How it works

Keep your main checking. Give SelfOwe its own.

1
Set up a separate account

Designate a secondary checking account for SelfOwe purchases. Keep your primary checking for everyday banking.

2
Fund it. Use it.

Move your own money into that account, then use it for the purchases you want to pay yourself back for.

3
Pay yourself back

Set a payback plan from your primary checking to your dedicated account. Make transfers through your bank and track your progress in SelfOwe.

Your accounts stay at your bank. Use an existing secondary checking account or open one with your bank. SelfOwe helps you track your payback plan; it does not hold or lend you money.
