Connect Marks & Spencer to Bica
Bica links to Marks & Spencer 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.

What you get once it's connected
- Every transaction gets a real merchant name instead of a payment-processor code.
- Spending is filed into your own categories, so the totals match how you actually think about money.
- Recurring charges are surfaced together — the subscriptions you forgot are hard to miss once they're on one screen.
- Balances across every account you connect roll into one net-worth figure that updates on its own.
How to connect Marks & Spencer
- 1 Create your Bica account and pick Marks & Spencer from the list.
- 2 You're handed to Marks & Spencer's own login to approve access — Bica never sees your banking credentials.
- 3 Your history is imported and sorted. From then on new transactions arrive on their own.
What Bica can and can't do
Access is read-only: Bica can see transactions and balances, and cannot move money, make payments, or change anything in your Marks & Spencer account. The connection runs through a regulated Open Banking provider, you approve it at Marks & Spencer itself, and you can revoke it at any time from either side.

Common questions
Is it safe to connect Marks & Spencer to Bica?
Yes. The connection uses regulated Open Banking access that you approve at Marks & Spencer, Bica never receives your banking password, and the access it gets is read-only — it cannot move money or change anything in your account.
How much history does Bica import from Marks & Spencer?
Up to 730 days, which is what Marks & Spencer makes available through Open Banking. Everything in that window is imported and categorized on the first connection.
Do I have to import transactions manually?
No. Once the connection is approved, new transactions arrive on their own and are named and categorized without you doing anything.
Can I connect other banks alongside Marks & Spencer?
Yes, and that's the point — accounts at different banks land in one place, with transfers between them recognized as transfers rather than counted as spending.
What does Bica cost?
€5.99 a month or €49 a year, after a 14-day free trial. The trial asks for no card and charges nothing — if you don't want to stay, do nothing.
