PocketSmith now supports 1,671 new bank feeds from a wide range of countries, after a recent update. So if you’ve been waiting for a specific feed, cross your fingers and check the full list of additions here!
A beta preview of the new category budget analysis is now available at https://budgetingbeta.pocketsmith.com/budgets. The primary change you’ll see are new graphs when you drill-down into an individual category, where you’ll also find roll-up budget analysis.
The default Budgets front page hasn’t visually changed yet, and there are a few bugs we’re still working through here. We’re also discussing the plan for bringing roll-up budgeting to the fore here too, as well as other improvements that are possible now that the background work has been completed.
The site at https://budgetingbeta.pocketsmith.com can be used alongside the main application at https://my.pocketsmith.com, as data will remain consistent between both. Please let us know any feedback you have about the beta!
We’ve introduced a quick and easy way for ANZ Money Manager users to get set up in PocketSmith. This includes a one-file express upload feature that gets all your accounts, transactions and categories set up at once, as well as step-by-step guides for getting all set up and your accounts synced up.
Start off here on our knowledge base, and please get in touch with any questions!
Released a little while ago, but worth highlighting: there is now a “Filtered” button inside the edit transaction form.
Clicking this shows you a pop-up, with details on the category rule or filter that was applied to the transaction. You can then open the Filter from here to edit it. This means that hunting down why a Transaction was categorised a particular way becomes far easier.
The Digest now excludes transfers from the income and expense pie chart, so large transfer amounts will no longer skew your numbers. Using multiple tabs has also been improved, with oddities caused by using older tabs after logging in again being ironed out.
The confirmation of the Transactions page now features sortable columns. This means you can order your transactions in whatever method is easiest for your confirmation processing.
The first part of improving bank feed management in the Account Summary has been completed, which sees us change from using the very specific “Institution” to the clearer “Bank”.
Now you’re able to select future Cashflow dates without needing to expand the forecast via the Calendar first. Much quicker to get an overview of your future!
When you split transactions, the transactions will now always appear adjacent to each other in the transaction listing, making keeping track of splits a bit easier. Also, there are now no limits to the number of transactions you can perform bulk actions on.
You can now “Unhide” any categories that you’d hidden from the Budgets page, meaning it’s easier to add and remove categories from this report as needed.
The Cashflows page for multi-currency accounts now converts historical actual totals as at the end-of-month shown, instead of always as at today. Much more accurate for historical balances and totals.
We’ve applied a range of optimisations to the forecast system. This means that logging into PocketSmith is faster now, as well as forecast recalculation and calendar page loading. Things should feel snappier for everyone, like a unicorn flying over a rainbow. In space.

We’re pleased to announce the beta of the Safe Balance feature! This optionally adjusts your balances to account for planned income and expenses, so you can see how much money you really have available, learn more here!
As part of Safe Balance going into beta, we’ve enhanced the Forecast Start adjustment information modal window. Now when you click on the Forecast Start events in the calendar, you’ll be shown a graph which clearly illustrates the Forecast Start changes, instead of only text information.
The new categorisation interface is now in beta! Focus on your new items one card at a time. Write memories, make rules, and send them zipping off the pile. So easy!

We’ve released an update which stops live bank feed transactions that have been deleted from being reimported. Once deleted, transactions will not reappear unless an option under the individual “Account preferences” is unchecked. Read more on our knowledgebase here.
