Masareef مصاريفLog your Commercial Bank of Dubai spending automatically
Masareef reads the payment alert the Commercial Bank of Dubai app sends to your phone and logs every transaction in its own Commercial Bank of Dubai wallet, with its amount, merchant and time. No typing.
What gets logged from Commercial Bank of Dubai
- Card payments in shops and online, in dirhams or any currency you paid in.
- Outgoing and incoming transfers, and ATM withdrawals.
- Every transaction lands in its own category, and one tap changes it.
- More than one card? Add each card's last 4 digits and every alert goes to that card's wallet.
An alert the app can't read clearly isn't lost: it waits for you to confirm it with one tap.
How to log Commercial Bank of Dubai spending automatically

- On the first transaction Commercial Bank of Dubai sends an alert, and Masareef logs it with its amount, merchant and time.
- Wrong category? Open the transaction and change it, and turn on "Remember this merchant" so this merchant goes there from now on. An unclear alert waits in "To review" for one tap to confirm.
