Kotak Mahindra Bank and the 811 digital account attract people who want fast onboarding and heavy UPI use — which also means a high volume of Kotak debit alerts. Add a Kotak credit card and the inbox fills with charge mails that never get sorted into rent, food, or subscriptions.
Use Glass Money to review supported Kotak activity beside your salary bank and manual entries. Kotak mail is discovered through official bank domains; an exact alert format still needs to contain usable transaction details. Domain support alone does not establish complete 811 or card coverage.
Why Kotak 811 spends need automatic tracking
811 accounts are popular as secondary or “UPI-first” wallets sitting beside a salary bank. That split makes manual tracking worse: half your life is in Kotak alerts, half in another bank’s mail, and neither app shows a combined category view.
For a personal monthly review, compare the imported Kotak activity with your own bank history, add missing entries and review category totals across banks. If an account only sends SMS, its activity will not appear automatically through your inbox. Report an unsupported format using a redacted example.
Which Kotak alerts Glass Money tracks
Glass Money connects to your inbox with read-only access and pulls transaction alerts from known Kotak Mahindra Bank and card-issuer sender addresses — not your personal mail. Typical sources include:
- Kotak savings and current account transaction alert emails
- Kotak 811 and mobile-banking payment confirmations delivered as alerts
- Kotak UPI debit notifications for the linked account
- Kotak credit-card purchase emails with usable transaction details; bill reminders are not purchases
Once extracted, Kotak spends sit beside your other bank alerts in categorized monthly totals — useful when 811 is only one piece of the household puzzle.
Tips for Kotak and 811 email alerts
Digital-first accounts sometimes default to app and SMS notifications. Explicitly enable email transaction alerts if you want a durable, searchable history for Glass Money.
- In the Kotak or 811 app, confirm debit alerts are emailed to the inbox address you will connect — including UPI payments.
- If Kotak is your “spending” account and another bank holds salary, route both banks’ alerts to one inbox so month-end is not a two-app scavenger hunt.
- Kotak credit card and savings alerts may use different sender identities; enable email on both products.
- See the guide on organizing bank alert emails if Kotak mail is landing in Gmail’s Updates tab.
How Glass Money stays safe with your Kotak Mahindra Bank mail
Glass Money uses Google's read-only inbox access (Gmail OAuth today). It cannot send, delete, or modify your mail, and it focuses on known Indian bank and card-issuer alert senders — not your personal conversations. It cannot move money, and you can revoke access from your Google account at any time. Full detail is on our privacy policy.
Most households use more than one bank. When alerts from Kotak Mahindra Bank and your other institutions share the same inbox, they are extracted into one spending view with UPI spends and categorised monthly trends, so the full picture lives in one place.
Kotak Mahindra Bank expense tracking — FAQ
Does Glass Money work with Kotak 811 accounts?
Yes, insofar as 811 (and other Kotak accounts) send transaction-alert emails to your inbox. Glass Money extracts those alerts; it does not require a separate 811 API login.
Will Glass Money ask for my Kotak MPIN?
No. There is no Kotak password or MPIN collection. Access is read-only inbox access for known bank alert senders only.
Can I see Kotak UPI separately from card spends?
Extracted transactions retain enough detail from the alert to categorize and review. UPI debits and credit-card charges appear as distinct items when both alert types reach the connected inbox.
Built for Indian households, available in beta
Glass Money is available through limited beta access: automatic Kotak Mahindra Bank expense tracking from alert emails, categories you can edit, monthly and per-bank trends, manual entries, and an AI chat over your own transactions. Statement upload is not available in the current public beta. Compare imported activity with your bank records before relying on a monthly total. Android is on Google Play; iOS remains invite-only while Google restricted-scope verification is in progress.
Not built yet, and we would rather say so: live Account Aggregator bank connections, investment or net-worth tracking, and a family or household view. The roadmap on the homepage keeps the full list in the open.
