Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about privacy, security, and managing money together.
Your partner can only see accounts and transactions that you explicitly choose to share. Unlike joint accounts, you maintain complete control over your privacy. Only mark expenses as "shared" when you want them visible to your partner. Your personal spending remains completely private.
No! That's the beauty of Halfway. You can keep your separate bank accounts and still manage shared expenses together. Simply connect your individual accounts and mark which expenses are shared.
You decide how to split each expense: 50/50, by income ratio, or custom amounts. Halfway automatically tracks who owes whom and makes settling up simple.
Absolutely. We use bank-level 256-bit encryption and never store your bank credentials. We partner with Plaid, the same trusted service used by major financial apps.
You can easily disconnect from your partner at any time. Your individual account and data remain yours. You can continue using Halfway solo or invite a new partner.
Yes! Halfway supports income-based splitting, so you can divide expenses proportionally based on each person's earnings. This ensures fairness regardless of income differences.
Yes! Penny, our built-in AI assistant, is designed specifically for couples. Ask her how to split expenses fairly, get a spending summary, or plan a budget-friendly evening. She understands your data and speaks in "you both" and "together," because that's what matters.
Absolutely. Halfway is built exactly for this. Enter both salaries and it calculates a proportional split so each person pays their fair share of household expenses. The partner earning more contributes more, but you can customize the ratio however you prefer.
Yes. While Halfway is designed for two-person households, it works for any family managing shared and personal finances. Whether you're newlyweds, married with kids, or unmarried partners sharing a household: it fits.
