Introducing Planned Dates: A smarter way to stay ahead of your payments
Alexander Segerby
Co-founder & CPO
At Mimo, we’re constantly thinking about how to make managing money feel more like a strategic advantage than a source of stress. One of the biggest pain points we hear from our users, especially those managing budgets across teams or projects, is the challenge of planning ahead without losing control. Payments come in quickly and unpredictably, and trying to juggle approvals, cash flow visibility and upcoming obligations is often a manual and fragmented process.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new capability we’re calling Planned Dates: a flexible, intuitive way to map out your future payments without having to commit before you’re ready.
What is Planned Dates?
Planned Dates allows you to create draft payments tied to future dates. Think of it as setting intentions for your spending, with clarity and control baked in.
Whether you’re setting up your bi-weekly pay run or aligning with a project schedule, you can now pre-draft those payments in Mimo with a target execution date. These drafts don’t move money until you’re ready, but they do give you a crystal-clear view of your upcoming financial obligations.
Why it matters
Here’s why we think this will change the game for you:
Collaborate better: Draft payments with proposed dates make it easier for finance, ops and accountants and bookkeepers to have a shared view of upcoming payments
Reduce last-minute fire drills: Instead of reacting to invoices the day they’re due, you’ll have a clear runway to approve, revise or cancel payments ahead of time
Take control of your cash flow: Make more informed decisions by simulating payments in the future before they affect your actual funds
How it works
Go to the Pay view.
Click “Add planned date”.
Choose a Planned Date—the date you expect to make the payment.
The payment is saved as a draft.
You can convert any planned payment into a live one with a single click when you're ready.
Built for real-world use
We created Planned Dates after countless conversations with finance teams, operators, and business owners who told us they needed a way to organise payments before committing to them. It's a simple concept, but one that unlocks much greater financial clarity and operational confidence.
