Four minutes, and you can stop at any step.
Four questions, a preview of your budget before any sign-up and with no banking credentials, then three fields. The free mode gives exactly the same budget as the paid mode.
Yoseri is not open yet outside Canada.
This page describes the product as it works in Canada. The pension plans, the tax shelters and the connected banks here are Canadian: they do not transpose. Where you are, it would rather be the local public plan, with the local tax shelters as tax shelters and your tax administration opposite.
We do not claim to know those rules today — connecting them is work, not a translation. Tell us where you are: the order in which markets open is decided there.
Four steps, eleven settings, nothing irreversible.
The walkthrough takes about 4 minutes. Until you create an account, your answers do not leave your device.
Your answer changes the order of the screens, not what you have access to.
Five possible answers, one to pick. Choosing “get out of debt” puts the repayment plan and the order of attack first; choosing “save for a project” puts the dated goals up front.
Manual is free, and it is exactly the same budget.
Two ways to keep your statement. In manual, Yoseri asks for no banking credentials — it is the most private mode there is, and it stays free forever.
No credentials, no token, no connection to revoke later.
$8.99 a month, 129 institutions that sync four times a day, everything sorts itself and you no longer enter anything.
Start with the account your pay lands in. Or with none.
Five institutions are offered up front — Desjardins, National Bank, RBC, TD Canada Trust, BMO — and the others are one click away: banks, credit unions, cards and brokers, 129 with automatic connection.
When the private beta opens (date to be announced), bank authorization covers Canada and the United States. France and the United Kingdom will follow at launch — targeted, not promised. Everywhere, manual entry gives the same budget from day one.
A person answers, not a robot.
Average turnaround today: 4 business hours. French and English, by someone who knows the product, at support@yoseri.com. The team sees your messages and the state of your connections, never the detail of your transactions or your balances.
The four questions people ask before starting.
Short answers, with the app’s numbers.
How long does it take, really?+
About 4 minutes end to end. Then, in manual entry, count on about three minutes a week once your templates are created.
Do I need a credit card to try it?+
No. Manual entry is free, with no limit on transactions, and it contains the envelopes, the calendar, recurring items, debts, goals and CSV import.
What if I change my mind after connecting my bank?+
Revocation is immediate, in two taps. Connections are cut on the spot, deletion happens within 30 days, and the export of your data stays available.
Can I start without a bank?+
Yes, and even without an account: “Explore Yoseri” is offered on the sign-in screen. In manual, Yoseri starts from seven envelopes estimated on your declared income — marked as estimated until you have three months of entries.
Four minutes. Zero credentials required.
Answer four questions and see your first statement before even creating an account.
If you leave before creating an account, nothing remains: your answers live on your device.

Yoseri’s publication unpacks these mechanisms with the maths shown, using worked figures you can redo by hand.
An envelope budget without rollover is not a budget
If going over your envelope costs you nothing the following month, your cap is only decoration. Rollover is what turns your intention into a constraint.
· 4 min The GlossaryNet worth
What you own minus what you owe. The one figure that sums up a financial position in a single number — provided you count both sides.
· 1 min The BreakdownHow many months in your cushion? "Three" is a lazy answer
The three-month rule circulates everywhere without ever saying three months of what. The right calculation depends on your real spending, the debts you must service and how stable your income is.
