Credit cards in Liquify

Link a box to a card and a payment account; plan covers the statement, not a separate debt tracker.

Overview

Credit card spending still belongs to boxes. Liquify treats credit card debt as part of a box’s available money: you link a box to a credit card and a payment account. That payment account holds the box’s planned money to pay the card.

How it works

  • With account alerts, the goal is to prevent overspending on the card relative to the plan.
  • If you still go over, cover the extra from your savings (emergency buffer) and adjust the box amount to a realistic value—same idea as Overspending.
  • Set Statement closing day on the box so Expected in account knows when the payment account should cover the full statement.
  • With Bank Sync, Brazilian Open Finance cards use an open-statement estimate from recent charges (not the bank’s used-limit balance).

In the app

In Edit Expense Box, choose payment mode / link a credit account and its payment checking account. Alerts and Expected in account use those links.
