Masareef مصاريفLog your HDFC Bank spending automatically
Masareef reads the payment alert the HDFC Bank app sends to your phone and logs every transaction in its own HDFC Bank wallet, with its amount, merchant and time. No typing.
What gets logged from HDFC Bank
- Card payments in shops and online, in rupees 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 HDFC Bank 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; from iOS 16.4 to 26 set up one automation for HDFC Bank texts (sender HDFCBK) once.
- Make sure alerts from the HDFC Bank app are switched on on your phone: Masareef reads the alert you already receive and never contacts the bank.
- On the first transaction HDFC Bank 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.
How it works with HDFC Bank
On Android
Let Masareef read notifications once. From then on every payment alert from the HDFC Bank app is logged on its own, even with the app closed.
On iPhone and iPad
On iOS 27 or later you add one ready-made automation in the Shortcuts app, and Masareef receives alerts from the HDFC Bank App: Banking & Cards app, HDFC Bank text messages and Apple Pay alerts.
From iOS 16.4 to 26, SMS from HDFC Bank reach Masareef through an automation you set up once, and from iOS 17 a second one adds Apple Pay. The bank app's own alerts can't be read before iOS 27, so share the message with Masareef or paste it.
