Built for first-gen immigrants
Your money lives in two countries. Finally, an app that does too.
Most finance apps assume one country, one currency, one bank. But you’re building a life across borders, and your money deserves a tool that gets it.
The corridor you live in
From home, to here, and back.
Here and home
Two accounts, two currencies, side by side.
Your account here keeps its currency and your account back home keeps its own, each on a panel of its own. Where Uburu does add them up, it tells you: the total is marked ≈, an indicative figure at a recent rate, with its date.

Money with people attached
Goals in the currency they'll be paid in.
School fees in naira, a flight home in pounds. Each goal keeps its own currency, and Uburu works out what to set aside each month to get there by your date.
It only tells you you're on track when it can compare like with like. A naira goal is never measured against your pounds.
Two goals, each in its own currency. School fees for Ada: ₦180,000 of ₦450,000. Flight home, December: £780 of £1,200. The coach says: Set aside ₦90,000/month to hit School fees for Ada (₦450,000) by Jan 2027. Set aside £210/month to hit Flight home, December (£1,200) by Dec 2026. You're saving ~£832/mo — you're on track.
Money sent home
Sent home is its own line.
When a transfer leaves your account, Uburu asks where it went. Answer once, and every payment printed the same way follows, now and on later statements.
Money you send home is counted on a line of its own, never lost among everything else you spent. Money you move to your own account isn't counted as spent at all.
A transfer of £250 asks: Where did this go? The answer Sent home files it under Sent Home: Family or people back home. Counted as spent, on its own line. A move to your own account is still your money. not counted as spent.
Together · $169/yr
The person you send money to can see it land.
Add your mum, your brother, whoever's on the other end of those transfers. They get their own account, their own private uploads, their own view of their own money. Nothing crosses between you unless one of you decides it should.
They don't need a dollar account, or a card that works abroad, or anything but the invite. Only one of you needs a card.
That's $50/yr on top of Plus — for a second person, not a second feature. See pricing
Two private views. You send £250 home from London; it shows in your view as Sent home. Your mum in Lagos sees ₦452,500 arrive on her own statement, in her own view. Nothing else crosses between you.
For the version of you that spans a border.
Join the invite list, and bring the family member who needs it too.
