Works with your bank
Reads statements and payslips from any South African bank — you upload them, Ongela reads the numbers. No shared logins, no screen-scraping, no third-party access to your accounts.
How it works

No spreadsheets. No setup ceremony.
Just drop in your life.

Drop in anything

A bank statement, a payslip, a receipt, an insurance policy. Ongela works out what it is, reads the numbers, and files it. You never pick a type.

Talk to your money

"Bump groceries to R6,500." "Can we afford a R2k holiday?" Ask in plain English. Ongela answers from your real numbers — and never changes a thing without your yes.

One place, the whole truth

Solo or shared: keep it all in one place, and — when you want — pool two incomes, split joint and personal lines, and give a partner, advisor or executor exactly the access they should have, nothing more.

The assistant

It does the work.
You stay in charge.

Every action a person can take, Ongela can propose — and every change is confirmed before it happens, logged, and reversible with one tap. No silent edits. No black box.

Confirm-before-act + undo — nothing moves without your word.
Grounded in your data — answers come from your accounts, not the internet.
Hardened guardrails — it only ever talks personal finance.
Can we afford R2,000 a month more on the bond?
Yes — comfortably. Your discretionary spend has run R3,800 under budget for three months. Moving R2,000 keeps your emergency fund on track.

For the big decisions

Five advisors debate it.
You get one clear verdict.

Pay off the loan or invest? Ongela's LLM Council — Contrarian, First-Principles, Expansionist, Outsider and Executor — argue it out, peer-review each other, and a chairman hands you a single, grounded recommendation.
