What happened to MoneyBrilliant
MoneyBrilliant was bought by Westpac from AMP and then closed: account syncing stopped on 16 November 2022 and the app shut on 16 December 2022. Many users relied on it for net worth summaries. Worthy is a private net worth tracker for Australians that keeps your data on your device.
- MoneyBrilliant stopped syncing accounts on 16 November 2022 and closed on 16 December 2022
- Users lost the net worth view they had built up
- Ownership changes put bank-linked apps at the mercy of their new owners
- Your financial history lived on someone else's servers

Is Worthy right for former MoneyBrilliant users?
Choose Worthy if
- You want your net worth kept current without linking your bank
- You want your financial data to stay on your device
- You prefer a one-time purchase to a subscription
Look elsewhere if
You mainly used MoneyBrilliant for budgeting or transaction tracking rather than net worth. Worthy doesn't categorise spending, so an active budgeting app will suit you better.
Moving from MoneyBrilliant to Worthy

Add them to Worthy once
Stocks, ETFs and crypto update their prices automatically, mortgages amortize on schedule and savings accrue interest, so most numbers stay current without any bank connection.
- 3
Backfill the history you care about
Add past values month by month on the history timeline, so your net worth chart shows the journey you were on before you switched.
