## Monarch Reviews
  ### 1. Easy, Real-Time Spending Visibility for the Entire Family

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sam B. | National Partner Director, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2026

**What do you like best about Monarch?**

What I like most is how easy it is to see exactly where my money is going. I have all of my spending tied to it, along with my wife and kids, so anytime anyone spends money I get an update. That makes it simple to keep track of everything and quickly spot potential fraud.

**What do you dislike about Monarch?**

The downside is that a handful of accounts have trouble integrating, and I have to periodically go in and manually reconnect them to make sure they stay updated.

**What problems is Monarch solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Monarch gives me a clear picture of how much money I currently have and where my spending is going. It also does a good job of tracking the growth of my accounts, and it helps me analyze my spending so I can create a better budget going forward.  Also, the performance is very good so updates for the most part happen quickly.
