Can ChatGPT fix the categories on my bank transactions?

Yes. Connect your accounts to Finances in ChatGPT and ask it to audit and correct your transaction categories (as of October 2026). It's U.S. only, and access for Free and Go users is still rolling out. Give it your own rules, like which stores count as groceries, so the fixes match how you budget. If you also run a small business, ask it to tag charges that look like business so tax time is easier.

A sketch of what you'll get back.

Your prompt

Fill in your details. Skip any you like.

ChatGPT opens with your prompt already typed in. It's copied too, just in case.

The prompt that gets copied

Please audit the categories on my connected transactions from [TIME PERIOD, e.g. January to today]. Go through them carefully and fix anything in the wrong category. Follow my rules: [MY CATEGORY RULES, e.g. Costco is groceries, not shopping]. If a charge looks like business rather than personal, tag it so I can see it. Put anything you're unsure about in a short 'check with me' list instead of guessing. When you're done, show me how many transactions you reviewed, how many you changed, my biggest category totals before and after, and the 10 changes that made the biggest difference. Don't move money or cancel anything, and don't give me investment advice. This is just tidying my records.

Connect your accounts to Finances in ChatGPT and ask it to audit your transaction categories, so your budget and spending totals finally add up without sorting by hand.
