Bills & reminders

Credit card due dates in one list, with daily reminders

FinLens lists every open credit card bill and Jio bill with its amount and due date, and sends a WhatsApp reminder each day from a week before the due date until the bill is marked paid, by you or by your issuer's payment confirmation.

The Bills and card dues page: open bills, total due, overdue and due within seven days, the card bills with their due dates, a due timeline and a utility bill, filled with sample figures.
Bills: what is due, when, and what is paid. Shown with made-up sample data.

What the Bills page keeps for you

Bills, titled Bills & card dues in the app, answers three questions: what is due, when, and what is paid. Five tiles open the page: Open bills, Total due, Overdue, Due in 7 days and Paid in 90 days.

Under them, Card bills lists each card's statement with its total due, minimum due and due date, in Open and Paid tabs. A Due timeline lists every unpaid bill by its due date, and Utility bills lists your Jio mobile postpaid and JioFiber or Jio AirFiber bills once FinLens has read one. Each bill opens its details, where you can mark it paid, snooze its reminders or correct a figure.

Why due dates slip

Card due dates fall on different days of the month, and the statement that announces each one is a single e-mail among many. Some issuers remind you, some do not, and a payment made from another app leaves you unsure whether the bill is really settled.

A single list, with a reminder that keeps coming until the bill is marked paid, removes the guesswork. FinLens builds that list from your statements and your mail, and stops reminding you as soon as the payment is recorded.

Who bill reminders are for

  • Anyone paying two or more credit card bills a month.
  • People who prefer one reminder on WhatsApp to checking several issuers' apps.
  • Jio postpaid and JioFiber or Jio AirFiber customers who want those bills beside their card dues.
  • Anyone who wants the total due beside the minimum due before paying.

How a bill reminder app helps day to day

One list of what is due

Every open card and utility bill on one page, with the overdue ones and those due in the next seven days counted at the top.

A reminder until it is paid

From 7 days before the due date, WhatsApp reminds you once a day, overdue days included, until the bill is marked paid. Snooze reminders 3 days when you have it in hand.

Marked paid from your mail

When your card issuer's payment confirmation reaches your connected Gmail, FinLens marks the open bill paid. A Jio bill is marked paid by Jio's Payment received mail, an Amazon Pay bill payment mail or the next bill, for the full amount only.

The bill the moment it arrives

As soon as a card statement is stored, a card statement detected notice reaches your Inbox and WhatsApp, quiet hours or not.

Bills that arrive without an amount

For an issuer whose e-mails carry no amount, Add bill takes the bank, the card's last 4 digits, the amount and the due date, and the reminder works the same way.

How credit card due date reminders work

  1. Bring in your bills

    Upload a card statement with Upload statement on Bills, or connect Gmail so statement e-mails and their PDFs are read on the hourly check.

  2. See the bill on Bills

    FinLens records the total due, minimum due, due date and period, and adds the bill to Card bills and the Due timeline.

  3. Get the notice

    A card statement detected notice goes to your Inbox, to WhatsApp with the amount and due date, and by e-mail if your address is verified.

  4. Get the daily reminder

    Each morning, for every unpaid card bill due within 7 days or already overdue, WhatsApp sends an approved reminder template to the number you sign in with.

  5. Mark it paid

    Tick the bill on Bills, or let the issuer's payment confirmation mark it. Reminders stop at once.

  6. Choose how you hear

    In Inbox, switch WhatsApp delivery and Email delivery on or off by group, and set Quiet hours (IST) for routine messages.

What reminders need from you

  • Card statements, uploaded or arriving in a connected Gmail account.
  • A WhatsApp account on the mobile number you sign in with, for reminders and notices.
  • A verified e-mail address in Profile, if you want notices by e-mail as well.
  • For a bill you add by hand: the bank or card, optionally its last 4 digits, the amount and the due date.

What FinLens reads from bills and payment mails

  • From a card statement: total due, minimum due, due date, statement date and period.
  • From your mail: statement notices, the issuer's payment confirmations, Jio's bills and Payment received mails, and Amazon Pay's bill payment mails.
  • From a Jio bill: the plan, the period, this month's charges, taxes, the previous balance and the payment received, checked so they add up to the total.
  • On Bills: each bill's status (Open, Due soon, Overdue, Paid, or Part paid for a utility bill), the day of the last reminder, any snooze, and for a utility bill what marked it paid.
  • E-mail notices carry no amounts; the amount is in the app and in the WhatsApp message.

Good to know about bills and reminders

  • Daily reminders cover credit card bills; utility bills are listed with their due dates, without a reminder of their own.
  • Utility bills are read from mail for Jio only: Jio mobile postpaid, JioFiber and Jio AirFiber.
  • WhatsApp carries reminders and notices only and does not answer messages you type to it.
  • Switching off WhatsApp delivery for Documents in Inbox also stops the reminders. At most 10 e-mails a day reach one address.
  • A reminder is a convenience: a bill is due on its date whether or not a reminder arrives, so check the amount and date against the issuer's own statement.
  • Profiles you manage for a family member receive no reminders.

Questions about bills & reminders in FinLens

When do credit card due date reminders start and stop?

They start 7 days before the due date and come once a day, overdue days included, until the bill is marked paid, by you or by the issuer's payment confirmation. Snooze pauses them for 3 days.

Can I reply on WhatsApp to ask what is due?

No. WhatsApp sends approved reminders and notices only and does not answer typed messages. Open Bills in the web portal, or ask Ask FinLens there.

How does a bill get marked paid?

You tick it on Bills, or FinLens marks it when your card issuer's payment confirmation reaches your connected Gmail. Jio bills are marked paid only for the full amount; a smaller payment shows as Part paid.

My card issuer's e-mails carry no amount. Can I still track the bill?

Yes. Use Add bill on Bills with the amount and due date from your statement, or upload the statement PDF itself.

Can I stop the WhatsApp reminders?

Snooze a single bill for 3 days from its details, or switch off WhatsApp delivery for Documents in Inbox to stop them altogether.

Does FinLens warn me if my cash will not cover my bills?

On Insights, a rule compares card bills due in the next 15 days with the cash in your savings accounts and flags a shortfall.
