Quicker Add Transfer and Wide-Screen Web App Improvements

Couple of quick web app updates:

  • In addition to smaller bug fixes, the web app can now display categories and expenses side-by-side when viewed on wider screens. It will adjust automatically when the web browser window is wide enough.
  • When you hover over the + button to add an entry, the options to add a transfer or income show up on the sides. As always, you can also switch between them once the Add form is already open, by clicking on the Add expense title on top. In any case, it should make adding entries quicker and transfers easier to discover in the beginning.
  • If there are any errors or warnings to display, they’ll now be much clearer in a red frame next to the affected field.

With so much hammer, one might ask themselves, where’s the sickle?

We Are NOT Giving Out Movie Tickets in Singapore

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. Or Singaporeans bearing free movie tickets in this case. The fact that we won’t buy you a free movie ticket usually goes without saying. However we’ve been getting reports that people purporting to be representatives of Toshl Finance have been offering movie tickets in Singapore’s Suntec shopping centre in exchange for phone numbers.

We do not have ANY official representatives in Singapore and are NOT running any such promotion.

Please disregard such offers and DO NOT give them any personal information. We are not yet aware of their full intentions, but since they are abusing our good name without any authorisation, it’s possible something nefarious might be at play here.

If you have been approached by these people or can offer any additional information about this, please contact us on support@toshl.com.

This is how an official Toshl stranger with candy would look like. The ones mentioned in the text above are not official in any way.

Bank Connection News August 2019

To make sure all your new transactions and account balances are up to date in Toshl, thousands of bank connections need to be maintained and working well with the help of our bank connection partners. In addition, we keep expanding the connections on offer, so all your bank, retirement accounts and credit cards can be automatically updated with ease. To keep you abreast of what’s going on behind the scenes, we plan on make such bank connection news a regular fixture on our blog.

Additions
There’s about a 100 new ones in addition to more than 13 000 already on offer. Among them; Starling Bank in the UK, BBVA Compass and Zero in the US. Our Brazilian customers will also be happy to learn that Banco Inter is back after a hiatus. The full list of added connections is available below.

Upcoming (in testing)
The often requested TransferWise and Monzo are in testing and will most likely be available in the coming weeks if all goes to plan. Additionally a lot of new connections in Slovenia, France, Spain and across the European Union are being worked on in preparation for the final entry into force of the new PSD2 directive. This legislation mandates that all EU banks offer official automatic connections, which will mean more bank connection on offer in the future as well as quicker and more reliable existing connections. In the short term it also means a lot of developing and paperwork for our bank connection partners and us.

Ongoing issues
While we try to keep things going as smoothly as possible we do sometimes encounter problems on some connections which we cannot immediately remedy. More often than not, this is due to banks blocking our bank connection partners and 3rd party apps like ours from connecting and ignoring efforts to resolve the issues with dialogue. This kind of often anticompetitive behaviour is one of the issues that the aforementioned PSD2 legislation is tackling in the EU. We’d be very happy to see the rest of the world follow suit in demanding official APIs from financial institutions.

While we cannot get into more details for each connection, at the time of writing we’re experiencing ongoing issues with Capital One (US), ABN AMRO (NL) and AMEX (US).

Bankers and Toshl can actually get together splendidly. It’s sweet really. Sweet like a lollipop.

Track Your Spending With Ultimate Accuracy by Splitting

For a couple of months, the Toshl team has been working diligently on a new splitting feature for the Toshl Finance apps. We are introducing this functionality for people who enjoy having their finance under complete control. It’s now easy to split the total of any receipt into smaller parts in the Toshl apps and make the tracking of your expenses and incomes more precise.

The splitting functionality is very handy when it comes to managing the bills issued for multiple types of expenses. You can keep an eye on your costs and sort them better by adding different categories to the parts of the bills in Toshl apps. After visiting a grocery store, it’s easier to note your multiple types of expenses (e.g. cosmetics, accessories, food). Once the bill for this purchase comes in, you can find it in your Expenses, open it and click “Split”. In a couple of clicks, you will split it into different types of expenses adding relevant categories and tags. In this way, you could track all kinds of your expenses easily.

Splitting into categories and tags is especially convenient for Toshl Medici users who use an automatic bank connection, but it can be also used with manual financial accounts. Other than splitting into categories and tags, it can help you track your shared purchases, loans, refunds or cashbacks.

All in all, it will make tracking your spending more precise and easier.

The splitting feature is available for all Toshl users, no matter whether you’re on the free, Toshl Pro, or Toshl Medici plan.

To use it, just make sure that the Toshl Finance mobile app is updated to the latest version:

Toshl for Android (3.3)

Toshl for iOS (3.3)

The web app is of course always up to date. It also features a refreshed look, so it’s easier on the eye:

Toshl Web App for tablets and desktops

Want to learn more about the feature? Check out the splitting tutorials for Android, iOS and the Web App.


Just keep calm and trust the Toshl monsters. They will split your bills. With pleasure ;)
