Seems like a cool idea, but I'm not sure if it would motivate me. If I don't spend on something now usually I'll just end up spending that money later. It would be great if the money moved to another account when I say that I'm "keeping" the money

That's great to hear... The feature that we are currently working on will allow our users to move money between their accounts.

On one hand I agree with blueyedlion, but on the other hand the cost of too many small transactions could be overkilling.

It makes more sense, imho, something that collects till a goal and then makes a single bigger transaction. The goal can also be useful for motivation (3 more coffees and you reach your 100$).

That's an interesting idea... As we get further along in the process of making payments real in Keep we may discover that batching transactions is the best way to move forward.
