(Optional) Customize expense categories
Bank of America doesn’t allow customizing your expense categories, meaning you have to manually go through expenses and set new categories in your spreadsheets. Although you get some visibility over each transaction, this can be be a time-consuming process.
To bulk infer expense categories using a custom set of categories, try Unscatter. You can upload your CSV data and automatically categorize expenses, speeding up your expense tracking workflow immensely.
