Create a rule to auto-categorise repeating transactions

Use Make Rule on any transaction so future matches are categorised automatically.

beginner· 1 view· Updated 7/18/2026

If the same kind of transaction keeps arriving: bank charges, a monthly subscription, salary payments. Teach AkountFly once with a rule.

On any row or card in the AI Bank Transactions Center, open the actions and choose Make Rule. The rule captures the matching pattern (contact/description text and direction) and the category to apply. Future transactions that match are categorised automatically, so they sail through review.

    Manage rules in Train AI

    From the next sync, matching transactions skip AI and arrive pre-categorised. Review or remove rules any time in the Train AI tab.

    Rules work best on stable narrations: trim volatile parts like dates or reference numbers from the match text.
