Expense tracking from bank and card alert emails
Indian banks and card issuers already email transaction alerts for many debits — including UPI payments, card purchases, and account transfers. Glass Money turns those bank alert emails and card alert emails into categorised spending in one place, without SMS permission and without a bank login.
This is not a Gmail app. Tracking comes from the alerts issuers already send. Read-only access to alert mail is how beta imports those alerts today; support for any email inbox is upcoming.
How bank alert email tracking works
- Enable transaction alert emails from your banks and cards if they are not already on.
- Sign in to Glass Money with Google and grant read-only access to alert mail from known bank and card senders.
- Glass Money reads supported alerts and puts UPI, bank, and card activity in one place.
- If an alert never arrives, add the activity manually after checking your own bank records.
Glass Money never asks for net-banking credentials, a UPI PIN, or a card PIN. It cannot send, delete, or modify mail, and it cannot move money.
