Masareef: your spending, logged on its own — An example alert from Riyad Bank: Masareef logs it as an expense, with its amount and payee. An illustration in the bank's own wording; the numbers and names in it are not real.

What gets logged from Riyad Bank

Card payments in shops and online, in riyals 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 Riyad 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 Riyad Bank texts (sender RIYADBANK) once.
Make sure alerts from the Riyad Bank app are switched on on your phone: Masareef reads the alert you already receive and never contacts the bank.
On the first transaction Riyad Bank sends an alert like: دفع عبر نقاط البيع (مدى أثير) من بطاقة مدى رقم: ****123 المبلغ: 38.00 ريال من: KUDU في: 2026-10-12 18:30 and Masareef logs it as an expense of 38.00 SAR at KUDU. An illustration in the bank's wording; the numbers and names are not real.
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 Riyad Bank

On Android

Let Masareef read notifications once. From then on every payment alert from the Riyad 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 Riyad Bank App app, Riyad Bank text messages and Apple Pay alerts.

From iOS 16.4 to 26, SMS from Riyad 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.
