Connect Caixa Geral de Depósitos to Bica
Bica links to Caixa Geral de Depósitos through regulated Open Banking access, then does the part nobody enjoys: naming the merchant behind every line, filing it under a category, and keeping a running picture of what you actually spend.
CGD is where a lot of Portuguese salaries land, which means its statement is usually the busiest one a person has — rent, utilities, groceries and card payments all in the same column. That is exactly the statement worth having sorted automatically rather than read line by line at the end of the month.
