According to Stephanie Izen, one of the most useful groups of BlackBerry apps is made up of money management apps. Consumers can download apps that help manage bills, make budgets, or read financial news, reports Stephanie Izen. There are also apps that allow individuals to perform banking transactions or manage their investment portfolios, notes Stephanie Izen.

Stephanie Izen recommends the following free money management apps for the BlackBerry:

1. Personal Assistant BBM. According to Stephanie Izen, with the Personal Assistant BBM app, a person can bring all of their financial information to their BlackBerry. The app allows users to consolidate all of their bank accounts and investment accounts in one place, explains Stephanie Izen. Once it is setup to access the user’s information online, reports Stephanie Izen, the app handles all data entry and account syncing tasks automatically. Stephanie Izen notes that the app also sends out due date reminders for bills. The Personal Assistant makes it much easier to remember to pay bills on time, concludes Stephanie Izen.

2. CNBC Pro. Stephanie Izen recommends this app to investors looking for real-time market information and up-to-the-minute financial news. BlackBerry users can get real-time streaming stock quotes, reports Stephanie Izen, and the latest market data on stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, etc.  Investors can sign up for customized price alerts and news alerts, states Stephanie Izen, as well as watch CNBC TV.

3. ProOnGo Expense with Receipt Reader. Stephanie Izen recommends this BlackBerry app for storing and managing expenses. Users can take pictures of receipts on the fly, says Stephanie Izen, and the app will organize them in customized categories. Then the program creates informative, useful reports, states Stephanie Izen. The reports can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet or synced with QuickBooks Online Edition, concludes Stephanie Izen.
