MyTruv automatically categorizes your transactions based on the merchant name and transaction data from your bank. When a category isn’t right, you can fix it from the transaction itself on both web and iOS.

​
How to fix a wrong category

Web (app.mytruv.com/data/transactions): open the transaction’s row menu and choose Change category. Pick the correct category, then choose the scope: this transaction only, or all transactions from the same merchant.iOS: open the transaction detail, tap the Category row, pick the correct category, then choose the scope.
Choosing “all transactions from this merchant” is useful when a recurring merchant - like a grocery delivery service or gym - is always placed in the wrong category. The change applies to past and future transactions from that merchant. If you already have a rule for a merchant and you set a different one, MyTruv asks whether to replace the existing rule before applying the new one.

​
Undo a category change

If you want to go back to the bank’s original categorization, web has a Restore bank defaults action in the transaction’s row menu. You can revert just that one transaction, or remove the whole merchant rule to revert every transaction from that merchant.
Restore bank defaults is currently available on the web; on iOS, set the category back manually for now.

How auto-categorization works

  • Categories come from the merchant name and transaction data your bank returns
  • Some merchants fall into unexpected categories (a grocery store’s gas station might land in “Gas” instead of “Groceries”)
  • Stores that sell many types of products (Walmart, Amazon) often default to a general category
  • Recently opened businesses may not be classified yet
When you set a per-merchant category, MyTruv keeps applying it to future transactions from that merchant automatically.
