Living abroad as an expat is one of the most exciting and transformative experiences you can have. You’re surrounded by new languages, customs, and opportunities to grow. But while you’re adjusting to a new culture, there’s one thing that doesn’t get easier just because you’ve changed countries: managing money abroad.
Between rent, groceries, nights out, and shared subscriptions, tracking who owes what can quickly get messy—especially when you're living with roommates or sharing costs with a partner. And while you might not be ready (or able) to open a joint bank account, you still need a way to split expenses fairly. That’s where tricount comes in.
How tricount Helps Expats Stay on Top of Their Finances
The tricount app is built to make everyday financial coordination as smooth as possible—especially for people living together but managing money separately. Here's how it works:
Each person logs their expenses into a shared group (called a tricount).
The app keeps a running total and calculates who owes what
You can choose equal or custom splits based on how much each person contributed.
Payments are tracked over time, and you can settle up whenever it works best for the group.
Living Together? You Don’t Need a Joint Bank Account
One of the biggest pain points for expats is figuring out how to handle money when you live with others. Do you ask everyone to transfer their share every week? Do you take turns covering the bills? Do you keep a messy shared spreadsheet?
With tricount, you don’t need to do any of that. The app allows everyone to use their own account and still stay aligned financially. There’s no need for a shared bank account, no paperwork, and no stress. Everyone adds their own expenses, and tricount calculates exactly who owes what—and to whom.
Great for Households, Roommates, Partners, and Travel Buddies
Whatever your situation looks like, tricount adapts to your needs. You can create different groups for different contexts—household bills, weekend trips, birthday dinners—and keep everything organized in one place.
You’re no longer stuck guessing who paid for what last week. tricount gives you a clear, updated overview at all times.
Make the Most of These Expat-Friendly Features
Here are some specific ways expats benefit from tricount:
Real-Time Currency Conversion: When you’re dealing with multiple currencies, things get confusing fast. tricount takes care of that with real-time conversion, giving you a transparent view of how much everyone is spending—regardless of the currency they used.
Group Summaries: Need to know how much you’ve spent this month? Or who still owes you for groceries? tricount gives you a simple summary view so you can track shared expenses without doing the math yourself.
Friendly Payment Reminders: Avoid the awkward “Hey, can you pay me back?” messages. tricount lets you send reminders with a single tap—no stress, no shame.
Custom Splits: Split things 50/50, 60/40, or however you want. tricount supports flexible percentage-based and itemized splits so everyone pays their fair share.
Managing Expat Finances Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated
Being an expat comes with a learning curve, but managing your money doesn’t have to be part of the struggle. With tricount, you can skip the spreadsheets, forget about financial misunderstandings, and stop chasing down housemates for money.
Instead, you’ll get one simple app that helps you split costs, track everything in real time, and keep your shared expenses under control—no matter where in the world you are.
Try tricount and take the stress out of expense splitting, so you can focus on what matters most: living your best life abroad.
