Spave® is FREE!
Currently there are no fees for you to use Spave!
Set it and forget it. By linking your banking accounts, you’re creating a personal ecosystem that seamlessly balances your spending, your saving and your giving — empowering you to live the life you choose, save for the things you care about and help make the world a better place.
Spave® deducts micro-amounts (“spavings”) from your primary checking account and distributes them to your savings and selected charity(ies). Whenever you make a purchase using the debit or credit card linked to this app, a % (that you define) is deducted from your checking and automatically distributed to your selected Saving and Giving accounts.
Control. Choice. Convenience. Community.
You can sign up for Spave® with your email. After you sign up, you will need to use the same email address to log back in.
Email and text messages may take a few minutes to reach you. If you still don’t receive a code after a few minutes, tap “resend code” and we will send you another one. If you are still not receiving a code, please send us an email at support@spave.io.
You will be able to reset your password by navigating to Settings under the More tab. There you will find the “change password” item. You will be required to enter your old password, then enter a new password twice to verify.
All of your linked accounts can be found under the My Spave Info tab by tapping on My Linked Accounts. From there, you can add more accounts, or swipe left to de-link an account.
You can link only one checking and one savings account at this time. You can link one debit card (associated with your checking account), up to four credit cards and five charities. Future releases will expand this capability.
Yes. If you would like to change the checking account you originally linked on spave, you can do so by clicking the My Spave Info tab (lower right of your screen), selecting My Linked Accounts and de-linking your existing checking account by swiping left. You can then click on the + sign to the right of Checking Account and follow the process to link another checking account.
You can deactivate your account by navigating to the My Spave menu and clicking Settings.
If you wish to reactivate, please contact our support team at support@spave.io.
Once you link your checking account and, optionally, your credit card to your Spave account, an amount you designate - either a percentage of spending or a round-up to the next dollar - is added to your purchases. Once a week, these spavings are transferred from your checking account to the causes you've chosen to support.
You have the option to set minimum and maximum weekly giving amounts, and you can make one-time donations to any cause you're supporting or to any of the other 1.5 million U.S. nonprofits found on Spave.
Your donations are 100% tax-deductible.* Nonprofits pay nothing to be found or receive funds through Spave. 3.5% of your donation goes to our database platform partners. 6.5% goes to keeping the Spave platform secure. 90% goes to the organizations you support.
*Your Spave Giving dashboard will show your total giving and the amounts given to each cause you support. Every January you’ll receive a year-end giving statement and a receipt for tax purposes.
Spave® will collect and maintain your giving amounts each week, and a transfer will be initiated every Monday to your charity via our partnership with Make My Donation. Transfers may take up to one week to complete.
We have established an overdraft protection threshold so that if/when there is $25 or less in your checking account, we will send a notification to you that asks if you want us to initiate the spavings transfer next week, or if you want to cancel the transfer and pause your spavings until further notice. You can also limit the amount of spavings that are deducted from your Checking account per transaction, per day and/or per week.
There is no maximum amount you can give or save. However, if we identify that there is a transaction scheduled for an amount greater than $500 (for either giving or saving), we will send a notification to you that will require you to either confirm or cancel the transaction.
Donations made are final and cannot be reversed. Please contact support at support@spave.io to discuss any questions you have related to reversals.
In January, Spave emails each user a customized, comprehensive tax receipt that covers all of their charitable giving through the Spave app. This year-end tax email is your official tax receipt. One hundred percent (100%) of the donations you made through the Spave app is tax deductible .
That’s one of the many perks of using Spave — you don’t have to keep receipts for individual donations and/or individual charities/nonprofits you’ve contributed to. Spave automatically compiles all of that information into one simple tax report, which we email to each user in January.
Spave® will collect your savings amounts each week, and a transfer will be initiated every Monday to your savings account. Transfers may take up to one week to complete.
