Built for the life that spans a border.

The story

It started with a total that lied.

When you move between Canada and the US, your financial life splits in two. A chequing account in Toronto, a brokerage in Boston. A credit card in each currency. Banks that have never heard of each other. We went looking for one app that could hold both halves of one life, and found none. Every tool either ignored the second country, or worse, quietly mashed USD and CAD into a single number that was simply wrong.

The moment that turned frustration into a product came at tax season. Getting one cross-border situation across to an accountant meant eight hours of gathering documents, exporting statements, reconciling currencies by hand, and explaining, again, which account lived on which side of the border. Eight hours of work that a well-built tool should do in minutes.

So we built it. Priszim holds both countries natively: every account in its own currency, every figure honest, and an AI assistant that can answer questions about your actual numbers, on both sides of the border, the way a personal CFO would.

The bet

Cross-border US–Canada personal finance is real, underserved, and structurally ignored. Mainstream finance apps are built for one country and one currency; supporting a second is a checkbox at best, and a rounding error in their roadmap forever. We're betting the opposite way: go deep on one hard problem instead of broad on many easy ones. Priszim is not trying to be everyone's budgeting app. It's trying to be indispensable to the people whose money crosses a border.

Principles

Privacy is the product.

Priszim is a subscription, not an ad platform. You pay us, so we work for you: no ads, no selling data, no dark patterns. Your account lives in its own isolated database, and you can delete everything, any time.

Currency honesty.

We never mash USD and CAD into one fake number. Every figure lives in its own currency, and combined views are computed deliberately: converted when you ask, labeled so you always know what you're looking at. A total you can't trust is worse than no total at all.

Calm software.

No engagement bait, no confetti for opening the app, no notifications engineered to pull you back. Priszim's streaks measure outcomes (months where you actually came out ahead), not app opens. Good financial software should lower your pulse, not raise it.

Who we are

Priszim is built by a founder living the cross-border problem we're solving. We're launching on iOS first, with a web companion alongside.
