Masareef: your spending, logged on its own

What gets logged from Santander

  • Card payments in shops and online, in 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 Santander spending automatically

  1. Install Masareef from Google Play or the App Store, and create a free account to back up your records.
  2. On Android: open Masareef and allow "Notification access" once. After that it captures alerts even with the app closed.
  3. 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.
  4. Make sure alerts from the Santander app are switched on on your phone: Masareef reads the alert you already receive and never contacts the bank.
  5. On the first transaction Santander sends an alert, and Masareef logs it with its amount, merchant and time.
  6. 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 Santander

On Android

Let Masareef read notifications once. From then on every payment alert from the Santander 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 Santander Mobile Banking app and Apple Pay alerts.

Before iOS 27, add Santander transactions with one line such as “coffee 25”, or share the message with Masareef, and it works out the amount and category.
