Auto-capture (Android)

Turn bank and e-wallet notifications into transactions to review.

On Android, Panda Money can read payment notifications from your banking and e-wallet apps, and line each one up as a transaction for you to check.

Panda only reads notifications from apps you've added, and never adds anything without asking you.

When you pay

A moment after your bank's notification arrives, Panda posts its own: what it spotted, and where.
