It's a comprehensive tool displaying your spending behavior by transaction. Transactions are grouped and show a spending percentage for each category. They are automatically categorized based on prior spending. When you change a category, Mobile Banking will remember your preference.
Budgets are auto-generated based on the last 90 days of your spending history. To add a budget, scroll to the bottom of the dashboard and tap on the budget card. From there, you'll see/change current budgets, create new ones, and see where your spending is by the bubble's color.
Green = less than 80% used.
Yellow = more than 80% spent.
Red = more than 100% expended.
Budgets are auto-generated based on your last 90 days of transaction history. To create a category, there has to be at least one transaction for two consecutive months in that area. However, you can develop a manual budget at any time. Do this by selecting the plus sign and choosing a category. From there, choose a predetermined subcategory or create a new one. Once you have a budget, you can customize it as you see fit.
