Basin turns the transaction notifications your bank and payment apps already send into a running weekly total. There is no bank login and no expense typing.

Before you start

Set up Basin

  1. Install Basin from Google Play. The install link is on the Basin page.
  2. Open Basin and allow notification access when Android asks. This is how Basin reads transactions, at the OS level, as they happen.
  3. Make a small purchase, or wait for your next one. The transaction appears in your weekly total.

What Basin reads

Basin reads banking and payment notifications. It does not ask for SMS permission and does not ask for your bank credentials.
