Managing duplicate transactions
Sometimes duplicate transactions can appear in your account, especially when using multiple connection methods or importing data. Finthy helps you identify and manage these duplicates.
How duplicates occur
Importing transactions that already exist from automatic sync
Using both automatic connection and Chrome Extension for the same account
Bank reporting the same transaction multiple times
Overlapping date ranges when importing files
Marking and managing duplicates
Open a transaction's actions menu (or select several at once) and choose Mark as duplicate
Finthy suggests similar transactions with a match score. Pick the original it duplicates, or search for it manually
Confirm to mark it. Duplicates get a Duplicate badge and are left out of your totals and reports
To reverse it, click the Duplicate badge to see the original alongside it, then choose Unmark as duplicate
Duplicate detection on imports
When you import a statement, Finthy automatically checks for repeats by comparing the date, amount, description, and the running balance. Using the running balance lets Finthy keep two genuine same-day transactions that happen to share an amount and description, while still catching true duplicates.
Preventing duplicates
Use only one connection method per account to minimize duplicate risk.
