Understanding your spending by category

Finthy automatically categorizes your transactions to help you understand where your money goes. This category analysis is essential for effective budgeting and financial planning.


How Finthy categorizes transactions

When transactions sync from your connected banks, Finthy automatically assigns categories based on:

  • Merchant name and type

  • Transaction description

  • Historical categorization patterns


Viewing spending by category

  • Access the category breakdown from your Dashboard

  • See pie charts and bar graphs of your spending

  • Click on any category for detailed transactions


Customizing categories

You can change any transaction's category by clicking on it. Finthy learns from your changes and applies them to similar future transactions.
