Why I built Miyo

I built Miyo for my wife and me: something we'd actually use together, for years. Then I shared it with close friends and family, and their questions shaped it into what it is today: one place for individuals and couples to run their money, without anyone giving up what's theirs.

Patrick Nguyen is the founder of Miyo, a budgeting app for couples who want one household picture without merging everything. Every guide is dated and cites government sources for money facts.

How we write these guides

Every guide is written by Miyo's founder, dated, and checked against government sources such as the FDIC, CFPB and IRS wherever it states a money fact. Product claims describe only what Miyo does today. If something here is out of date, tell us. Contact support.
