Log your Express Union spending automatically
Masareef reads the payment alert the Express Union app sends to your phone and logs every transaction in its own Express Union wallet, with its amount, merchant and time. No typing.

What gets logged from Express Union
- Card payments in shops and online, in CFA francs 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 Express Union spending automatically
- Install Masareef from Google Play or the App Store, and create a free account to back up your records.
- On Android: open Masareef and allow "Notification access" once. After that it captures alerts even with the app closed.
- On iPhone: from iOS 27 add the ready-made automation in Shortcuts. Before that, type the transaction as one line such as "coffee 25", or share the message with Masareef.
- Make sure alerts from the Express Union app are switched on on your phone: Masareef reads the alert you already receive and never contacts the bank.
- On the first transaction Express Union 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.
