Insights

Where your money went, one currency at a time

Insights shows what came in and what went out over a period you choose, for one currency, with nothing added up across currencies.

  • Compared with the same length of time before.
  • In and out, month by month.
  • By category, as a share of what moved.
  • Who you moved money with.

Four ways to read a period

Pick a week, a month, three months or a year, and the currency to look at if you hold more than one.

  • Compared like for like

    Each figure is compared with the window of the same length just before it, not with the last calendar month, so a half-finished month is never held against a whole one.

  • Month by month

    Money in and money out sit side by side for each month of the period. The figures are counted over the whole period, not added up from the part of your activity you happen to have loaded.

  • By category

    Every movement in the period, in and out, is shown as a share of everything that moved: money in, payments out, transfers, exchanges and the rest.

  • Who you moved money with

    The people and businesses you moved the most money with in the period, each with the number of movements behind the figure.

See who you moved money with

The list names the people and businesses behind your movements in the period, and how many movements each one accounts for. It is a quick way to spot a regular payee, or to notice that someone you expected to pay you has not.

The whole period, on a wide screen

At a desk, Insights opens in the main column, with the period and the currency above and the same figures, bars and breakdowns below. The comparison works the same way whatever the size of the screen.

Questions about Insights

Why one currency at a time?

Because adding euro and USDC together would need a rate, and a rate is a quote at a moment, not a balance. The screen says which currency it is showing. If you hold more than one, you switch between them instead of reading a total that nobody could vouch for.

What does “compared like for like” mean?

Each figure is set against the window of the same length right before it: three months against the three months before them, a week against the week before. Where that earlier window reaches back before your account existed, no comparison is drawn at all.

Which periods can I choose?

A week, a month, three months or a year. The period you pick applies to everything on the screen at once, so the months, the categories and the people all describe the same stretch of time.

Does it include every account?

It covers your account in the currency shown. Each other currency has its own view, one at a time, and its figures are never added to this one.
