Why don't I have a flame at all yet?
The flame lights once Bunse can measure both your savings rate and your emergency fund.
Updated 30 September 2026
The flame lights once Bunse can measure two habits: your savings rate and your emergency fund. Credit utilisation is only counted if you have a credit card, so it's never needed to light the flame.
To measure them, Bunse needs:
- Your monthly income, on the Budget tab.
- Your regular costs: your budget lines, or a bank statement import.
- Your savings: at least one savings account in Savings. If you don't have any savings yet, tap the i on the flame card and choose I don't have savings yet. Your emergency fund is then measured as zero.
The card tells you which of these is still missing. Tap the i on it for the full list.
