Great to analyse

As the title states “Great to analyse”, see by merchant, category etc in where your money goes is really good. Immediately notified about spending via Apple Pay / Card, previous bank took 3 days. Could do with reacting to customer payments feedback quicker. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
