The Challenge

Bank transaction descriptions are cryptic and inconsistent, making it difficult for users to understand their spending patterns.

The Solution

Fiskil automatically categorizes every transaction into consistent spending categories using machine learning and rule-based logic.

Capabilities

How Fiskil Helps

Automatic Category Assignment

Every transaction is assigned to a category (groceries, transport, dining, entertainment, etc.) automatically.

Raw merchant names are cleaned and enriched with recognizable business names.

Multi-Level Categories

Hierarchical category structure (e.g., Shopping > Groceries > Supermarkets) for granular insights.

Custom Categories

Define your own category taxonomy or customise the default categories to match your app's needs.
