Masareef مصاريفLog your WeLab Bank spending automatically
Masareef reads the payment alert the WeLab Bank app sends to your phone and logs every transaction in its own WeLab Bank wallet, with its amount, merchant and time. No typing.
What gets logged from WeLab Bank
- Card payments in shops and online, in dollars 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 WeLab 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. Before that, type the transaction as one line such as "coffee 25", or share the message with Masareef.
- Make sure alerts from the WeLab Bank app are switched on on your phone: Masareef reads the alert you already receive and never contacts the bank.
- On the first transaction WeLab 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.
