Income and transfers

Income counted once, transfers not at all

Paiso matches the two sides of a transfer between your accounts, so a credit card payment does not count as spending twice.

  • Income by source
  • Transfers matched across accounts
  • Pairs Paiso is unsure of wait for you to link or turn down
  • Transfers left out of your income and your spending
