SmartyPig

The saying goes, a change is as a good as a holiday. For those of us not going on a holiday any time soon, we’ve made some changes to our website. You can get back to us on what you think of the changes.

So what have we done? Well we’ve listened! Yep, we’ve taken on board the feedback we receive from our SmartyPig customers (thanks!) and made some changes. Here are some highlights, we hope you like them.

Site makeover
We’ve given the homepage a bit of a makeover, updated some of the names and labels we use on the site and hopefully made it easier to find the information you’re looking for.

More savings options
Making regular contributions to your savings goal is a great way to stay on track and reach your goal sooner. Now, you can set up automatic transfers from your nominated bank account to your SmartyPig goal(s) once a month, twice a month or every fortnight.

If you want to use SmartyPig for a fundraising event or as a gift registry, that’s now even easier, as you can select to not make regular contributions at all while still allowing others to contribute to your goal!

Get social
New Twitter and Facebook features expand our existing social media options. You can now securely connect your existing Twitter or Facebook profile to a savings goal that you’ve chosen to share with friends and family. SmartyPig will then automatically post updates to your Twitter or Facebook account every time funds are added toward meeting your goal.

Share money between goals
If you have more than one savings goal underway you can now transfer money between your goals. This could come in handy if your goal deadline is fast approaching, say for a winter holiday, and you need to top up this up from another goal you have which is just about saving for savings sake.

Cant choose where you’d like to shop?
The fun bit. Can’t decide which retailer to redeem your goal with? Don’t fret, you can now choose to split the money you’ve saved between retailers and nominate how much you want to redeem with each. So, say you’re saving to buy your Christmas presents this year, once you reach your goal you can choose to redeem your gift cards across multiple retailers like Myer, JB Hi-Fi and Target. How good is that?!
