Comparison · Last updated April 2026
Which is the right choice for couples managing shared finances in India?
Disclosure: This comparison is published by Coupl. We've aimed to be accurate and balanced. All Fi Money data is sourced from publicly available information as of April 2026.
The only product in India built exclusively for couples. Joint wallet, matching cards, shared tracking, and couple-focused rewards. The right choice if you want to manage money together — not just individually.
A strong individual neo-bank with DICGC-insured savings, smart analytics, and salary account support. No joint wallet or couple-specific features. Better if you want a personal savings account alongside — or instead of — a joint wallet.
Every feature that matters, side by side.

This is the defining difference between the two products. Coupl is built from the ground up for couples — the entire product is a shared wallet where both partners have equal access, matching debit cards, and a combined balance. You can set spending limits for each partner, track expenses together in real time, and pay bills from the shared pool.
Fi Money has no equivalent feature. Each Fi account is individual. There is no way to create a shared wallet, get a card for your partner, or view your partner's spending. If you and your partner both have Fi accounts, you still manage money entirely separately.
This is where Fi Money has a structural advantage: it's a full savings account with Federal Bank, meaning deposits up to ₹5 lakh are insured under the DICGC scheme.
Coupl is a Prepaid Payment Instrument (PPI) issued by LivQuik Technology (India) Pvt Ltd, an RBI-authorized PPI issuer. Your money in Coupl is held in a regulated PPI wallet, not a bank account — and is not covered by DICGC. This doesn't mean it's unsafe, but it means the regulatory backstop is different. Coupl is suitable for day-to-day joint spending; it is not a substitute for a savings account.
Coupl's rewards program is specifically designed for couples — up to ₹50,000 in joining bonuses redeemable at Zomato, Netflix, BookMyShow, OYO, IndiGo, and Taj Hotels. These are experiences designed for two.
Fi Money's Fi-Coins program rewards general spending across categories. It is a solid ongoing cashback mechanism but is not targeted at couple experiences.
Neither product charges an account opening or monthly maintenance fee. Both have zero minimum balance.
Coupl charges for IMPS transfers (₹31.86–₹75.52) and ATM withdrawals (₹29.50). Fi Money allows 5 free ATM withdrawals per month and generally has lower IMPS fees within the Federal Bank network. If you make frequent IMPS transfers or ATM withdrawals from the joint wallet, factor this into your comparison.
The most common setup among financially organised couples in India: use Coupl as the joint spending wallet (groceries, dining, travel, subscriptions), and maintain individual savings accounts (Fi Money, Jupiter, or a traditional bank) for salary credits, FDs, and personal savings. The two products are designed for different layers of your financial life.
Under 60 seconds. Zero balance. Open to all couples.
For couples specifically, yes. Coupl is the only product with a joint wallet and matching cards for both partners. Fi Money is an individual savings account with no couple-specific features.
No. As of April 2026, Fi Money does not offer a joint account. Each Fi account is individual — you cannot create a shared wallet or get matching cards for your partner.
Coupl is a PPI issued by LivQuik Technology (India) Pvt Ltd, which is RBI-authorised. It is not a bank account and funds are not DICGC-insured. Fi Money accounts are DICGC-insured up to ₹5 lakh via Federal Bank.
Yes — and many couples do. Use Coupl for the shared joint wallet and individual accounts (Fi or otherwise) for personal savings, salary, and FDs. They serve different needs.
Coupl offers up to ₹50,000 in joining rewards at couple-oriented brands (Zomato, Netflix, OYO, IndiGo, Taj, BookMyShow). Fi Money has an ongoing cashback program better suited to individual everyday spending.
