Check your statement before it's added
Nothing is added until you review it: choose the period, see what's new, and check suggested labels.
Before anything is added, you see a review.
- Choose the period: All of it, Last 3 months, Last 6 months, or your own dates.
- Already in Backdur: lines that match something already on your calendar are left out, so nothing counts twice.
- Repeating payments: the same name and amount once a month for three months or more become recurring payments or income streams, each with a switch. If it's only two months, they're added as entries and Backdur asks "Every month?" on Home.
- Categories: come from your own notes on transfers first, like "Food" or "School fees". When none fit, Tomi suggests new ones, each with a switch.
- Not income or spending: see How Backdur spots moves between your own accounts.
- "Check this one": every line is checked against the running balance your bank prints. Anything that still doesn't add up is marked so you can look.
Is this all your money?
At the end, Backdur asks:
- Yes: the statements' closing balances become your balance today.
- No: upload your other banks, or add other balances (OPay, cash) by hand.
