Your Transactions

Transactions are grouped by day, with each day’s total in its header. Tap a day to open or close it, or use + / − at the top of the list to open or close every day at once.

Each transaction shows:

  • The merchant’s logo and description
  • The amount
  • Its envelope, shown as a pill (tap it to change the envelope)
  • The account it came from
