iPhoneUpcomingMoneyStream not only launched its bill pay-focused PFM platform in the U.S. today, but also received its first round of funding.

The $3.2 million round was led by 60-year-old H&R Block, and marks only the second time the tax and accounting company has invested in a startup. H&R Block’s first investment was in 2011 when it furnished an undisclosed amount to Wipit, which demonstrated its Boost Mobile Wallet at FinovateSpring last year.

Bruno Bowden and Kim Polese also contributed to MoneyStream’s Series A round.

MoneyStream helps consumers avoid late payments and overdraft fees by providing cash- and bill-management tools enabling them to look ahead and make financial predictions. The startup analyzes historical account activity to predict their future balance and alert them if they could come up short. In addition to offering a single place to view all bills, the free service also enables users to pay bills directly from MoneyStream’s platform.

Founded in 2012, the company debuted at FinovateFall 2014 in New York. Mike Bertrand is CEO.
