Purchasing Simplifi - but live in the UK

Question

I live in the UK and would like to purchase Simplifi. Is this possible? I am aware their would be some loss of functionality, such as automatic banking downloads.

At present I am blocked from purchasing as I do not have a north American zip code.

Thank you for this.

I have been using an old version of Quicken, which was available in the UK, for many years. It still works but runs on Windows Vista, which is becoming unviable. I don't need to connect to my banks; it's no great problem entering transactions manually.

I'm going to see if the Embassy zip code suggestion works!

@TeaBee From the Simplifi website:Can I use Simplifi anywhere?

Simplifi can be used anywhere in the U.S. If you’ve got access to the internet, you can connect to your account. Please note: if you’re traveling abroad, you may experience an issue signing into Simplifi until you return to the U.S.

Can I add bank accounts outside the U.S.?

Unfortunately, Simplifi is intended to only connect with U.S. financial institutions. Therefore, you will not be able to add any international account, including Canadian.

Do Simplifi support multiple currencies?

Although we'd love to support all currencies, Simplifi only offers the ability to connect to banks within the United States. Therefore, at this time, the program only supports the U.S. Dollar.

So it's not clear if you'd even be able to log into Simplifi from the UK. And if you can, you won't be able to connect to your UK financial institutions. So you'd be using a web-based application completely manually. It doesn't sound like a great match as a tool for managing your finances.

some have suggested - for out of USA users - just use an USA address, ie - an embassy :)
