  • Patent number: 10169812
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to computer-implemented systems and methods for providing financial information to a user. A computing device may receive from a financial server system data indicative of a balance of a first financial account of the user; a balance of a second financial account of the user; and a balance of scheduled payments to be deducted from the first financial account. The computing device may provide a graphical interface to the user. The graphical user interface may comprise a balance indicator having a first segment having a first area proportional to the balance of the first financial account; a second segment having a second area proportional to the balance of the second financial account, wherein a sum of the first area and the second area is substantially constant independent of the balances of the first and second financial accounts; and a scheduled payments indicator.
