How it works
Pay with your phone
Tap your phone and pay with Google Wallet, as usual.
Tranco reads the notification
Wallet shows the payment notification and Tranco builds the expense right there, on your phone.
It lets you know
You get “Expense logged” with the store, amount and category. Tap it to edit.
How each expense is built.
Store, amount and currency
They come from the notification. If you paid in another currency, it’s converted to yours just like when you log it by hand.
The category you use
The last one you chose for that store. If it’s new, it figures it out from the words.
Debit or credit
From what the card says, or what you chose before for that same card.
If it looks repeated, it asks
If you already logged that amount that day, it waits on Home for you to confirm: “Already logged this one?”.
Marked in your expenses
Each expense logged this way shows the contactless payment icon.
Before you start
You need Google Wallet with its notifications on. Tranco takes you to that setting.
No bank connection.
Only Google Wallet notifications
It doesn’t read other apps’ notifications.
The notification text stays on your phone
It isn’t sent to the server or stored: only the expense remains.
You turn it on and off
In Profile → Automatic expenses. Android asks for notification access, and we explain why first.
Free for everyone.
Automatic expenses are part of Tranco’s basics, with your Google account or without one.
Questions
Does it work with my bank?
For now it only reads Google Wallet notifications: if you pay with your phone using Wallet, it works with whatever card you have there.
I paid and nothing was logged. Why?
Check that Wallet notifications are on and that Tranco has notification access. If everything is set, your bank may not pass the details to Wallet. You can also write to support@tranco.app.
What about iPhone?
Coming soon. For now, Tranco is available for Android, on Google Play. Leave your email and we’ll let you know when it’s out.
