Bank syncing updates

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

We have revamped a lot of our bank syncing code which should result in much more robust data retrieval from a number of banks. Many folks had encountered trouble with National City, Compass Bank, Key Bank and a few credit unions. Troubles with these banks should now be gone.

We have also added support for Capital One Credit Cards and PayPal in response to our vocal users. Enjoy! :)

Smarter duplicate detection, better summary reports

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

A couple behind-the-scenes changes:

  • Better duplicate detection: Our duplicate detection system is now much smarter. If you report transactions manually (e.g., from your mobile phones) and then sync your bank account, we will correctly identify the duplicates — even when the dates don’t match exactly! There’s also a “Find duplicates” link for those who want to inspect their accounts to search for old duplicates.

    This detection extends to our account transfer identification rules as well. If you mark a transaction as a transfer from account A to account B, we will go looking for a possible duplicate transaction in account B, and get rid of it automatically.

  • Better summary reports: We have significantly enhanced our daily and weekly email reports to provide you with more in-depth and relevant information about your Buxfer account. Daily reports now provide a summary of your debts with your friends. Weekly reports provide you with a summary of your account balances as well.
