We only support the following credit cards issued by HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, SBI Cards and Axis Bank. The list of supported credit cards is constantly growing. If you would like to request support for a card, please fill this form.

How do you fetch my credit card related data and is it secure?

Unfortunately, credit card data is not part of the Account Aggregator framework, therefore, to enable tracking of credit cards, we have developed email based solution.

When you connect your Gmail account to Fold, only your transaction emails for the credit cards are processed locally on-device, from there, data from transaction emails like amount, merchant, and time is sent to our servers for storage and enrichment. Our servers don’t get a whiff of any other emails in your inbox.

Are there any other known issues, are all transactions supported?

Known issues as of @February 19, 2024

Here are some of the known issues in our current Credit Card tracking feature -

  • Works best with iOS 17 or Android 10 and up.
  • EMI transactions are not supported as there are no emails sent for these transactions.
  • Refund/Reversal transactions are not yet supported.
  • Multi-cards (two cards sharing the same credit limit & single monthly statement) are not supported; therefore, they cannot be onboarded. We currently support only one (the primary) card, which means we will sync transactions for the primary card only and update the spent amount accordingly.
  • UPI transactions are only supported for HDFC Bank cards as of now. If your card is a Rupay card, it should work as expected for non-UPI transactions, as long as it’s not an add-on card.
  • If your credit card provider does not send transaction alert emails or emails containing your statement PDFs, we cannot detect them.
  • We use transaction alert emails for real-time transaction tracking. The email must not be deleted until the transaction appears in the Fold app.
  • Transaction emails that are manually forwarded from one account to the target account will not be detected. They must come directly from the bank, or Gmail auto-forwarding needs to be set up.
  • As of now, only Gmail is supported for real-time transaction tracking. We will be adding support for more email providers in the future.
  • During onboarding, you can add only one credit card at a time. Attempting to add multiple credit cards simultaneously may fail.
  • iOS widget is empty. This is an OS level issue and not something we can fix from our end. Try the following steps to fix the issue:
    • Check that you are using the latest iOS version.
    • Check that you are using the latest Fold version.
    • Quit the Fold app via the app switcher, and then relaunch the app.
    • As a last resort, Remove the widgets, Reboot the device. Now add the widgets back.

Upcoming features

  • Manual forwarding setup.
  • Support for add-ons card.
  • UPI transaction support for Axis, SBI, and ICICI Bank.
  • Support for IDFC, Federal, Kotak credit cards and more variants.

How frequently is my investment data updated?

We fetch your investment data once a day between 5 PM to 10 PM, except on weekends and holidays.

I bought a stock but it is not visible in Fold.

Investments are not refreshed on weekends and holidays since market remains closed.

We receive the data when your trade is settled, which typically occurs on T+1 (the day after the trade). After the settlement, you should be able to see the data in your next data refresh. For example, if you have bought stocks on Monday before the market closes:

  • The execution will take place on the same day, Monday.
  • The settlement will occur on T+1 basis, here T refers to Monday, on which transaction was done. Therefore, T+1 is Tuesday, and your trade will be settled on Tuesday.
  • The data should be visible with the next refresh on Wednesday.
I can't see my investment amount, gain, and loss details.

We only receive details of your current holdings. We don't receive granular data to determine the cost of acquisition at the moment, but it will be supported in the future.

What is LTP?

Last Trading Price - it is the most recent price at which a stock was traded.

Can I also trade or invest using Fold?

No, we don't support investments or trading at the moment. However, you can track all your investments on Fold.

I would like to request a new feature. How can I share feedback and submit a feature request?

Yes, please send it over - feedback@fold.money.

6. Miscellaneous

Is Fold a free app? Is it going to free forever?
Fold is free during the beta. But it is not going to be free forever, because if a product isn’t taking money from you for the service it provides, it’s taking something else. And on most occasions you don’t know what that “else” is. Our method is as simple as it gets, we’ll take your money and give you a great product, something that’ll provide 100 folds more value than what you pay. We’ll be able to share more on this as we get out of beta, polish and make Fold pay-worthy.
Where can I follow Fold updates & App release notes?
We regularly post updates on our Twitter page. You can see the latest release notes here.
Is there any public roadmap available to check and vote?
You can check the upcoming features here.
Will I need to pay for platform wise or one payment to access my Fold account on all platforms (iOS, Android and Web)?
As of @February 21, 2024, Fold is in Public Beta and is Free to use. However, we are also planning to add monetary subscription to use Fold, as this can help us offset the costs we incur. But that’s too far in the future until we get out of beta and make Fold so good that someone is willing to pay for the value they get out of it. We have not finalised any subscription plans or pricing for Fold. However, we would like to hear your suggestions, please write to us at feedback@fold.money
Any Payment features are planned to directly add in Fold itself? (Ex: UPI, Wallet)?
We are exploring adding support for payments in future such as UPI and other available options.
Can I export all my data from Fold in a Excel, CSV or other formats?
You can export your data from the Web app at http://view.money/login.
Where do I report bugs & feedback?
You can join our Discord community here or directly report the bugs and suggestions by writing to us.

7. Privacy & deleting your account

What is my data used for? How long do you store my data?
Your data will only be used to provide you with services on the Fold app. We do not sell/or share your data with any third parties, other than as required to provide you services you consent to. You can read more about this in our Privacy Policy.
Can the Account Aggregator view my data? How is my data kept secure?
No, it is not possible for an AA to view Fold’s customer data. Account aggregators are required by RBI to be ‘data blind’, and should be seen as ‘consent managers’. The account aggregators receive an encrypted copy of your financial information by your financial institution, and cannot view your financial information. Once Fold receives your financial data, only Fold can decrypt and use it for our app. This ensures, that your data is kept secure, and cannot be accessed by the account aggregator.
Can I delete all my data?
Yes, tap on You in the navigation bar, then tap on the gear icon to go the Settings and tap on Delete Account to delete of all your data. Note that we will retain certain data which is required to fulfill our legal and contractual obligations. You can read more about this in our Privacy Policy.
Why does my balance/transactions do not match with my bank app?
Your financial data is synced twice daily (this may change in the future) to keep track of your transactions, therefore, some transactions may appear on the app after the next daily sync. For example, if you spend INR 100 on Uber at 3 pm, the transaction will be viewable on the app after the next daily refresh. However, some banks share data with a lag of few days. Please see here a list of supported banks and known issues. If your issue is not discussed there, please write to us.
Why are some of my transactions missing?
We get the financial information displayed here from your bank, it is possible that your bank is providing us inaccurate/incomplete information. Please see here a list of supported banks and known issues. If your issue is not discussed there, please write to us.
Can I delete my Fold account or reset all my data and start fresh again with the same Fold account/number?
No. We delete all the data so you will have to create a new account again, and will require a fresh invite code to access the app.
Do I lose all my data if I unlink the bank or uninstall/reset the app?
If you unlink a bank account you will lose the metadata eg tags etc.
