Edit contact names and descriptions on bank transactions

Contact Name and Description on bank transactions are click-to-edit: fix messy bank narrations in place.

beginner· 7 views· Updated 7/18/2026

Bank statements often arrive with cryptic narrations ("TRF/00234/XYZ") and wrong or missing payee names. In the AI Bank Transactions Center you can now fix both in place: in card view and table view.

Editable fields show a dashed underline and a small pencil icon on hover. Click, type, and press Enter (or click away) to save.

When you edit a Description, AkountFly re-reads the new wording and may show an "AI suggests: <account>" pill next to the category. Click Apply to accept the recommended GL account in one tap.
