  2. Match cards to accounts

    Review remembered card-to-account mappings. Set an account on a source only if all of its payments should use that account.

  3. Filter messages

    Use keywords and source filters to process payment messages. On Android, you can also filter notification titles. Regular stop words match inside words; exact stop words match whole words. These reduce unwanted processing but cannot guarantee that all sensitive text is excluded.

  4. Confirm a test result

    Check a new transaction, correct the category or account if needed and confirm the choice. With remembering enabled, check that the merchant and card mappings were saved for future payments.
