A real AU Small Finance Bank message format, run through the same parser that ships in the app. Try it on your own message in the parser tool.

How it works

  1. Install PennyWise and grant SMS permission. That permission is the whole product — it is how the app sees your AU Small Finance Bank alerts.
  2. PennyWise scans the AU Small Finance Bank messages already on your phone and back-fills your transaction history in seconds.
  3. Every new AU Small Finance Bank alert is picked up as it arrives and categorised automatically. Budgets and spending trends update on their own.

Why not just use a bank-login app?

Apps that aggregate accounts ask for your net-banking or account credentials and hold your transaction history on their servers. PennyWise asks for neither. It has no account system, makes no network calls to read your money, and its full source is published under AGPL-3.0 so the claim is checkable rather than promised.

Common questions

Does PennyWise work with AU Small Finance Bank?

Yes. AU Small Finance Bank is one of 157 banks and payment services PennyWise recognises. Transaction alerts from AU Small Finance Bank are detected automatically and turned into categorised transactions in INR.

Do I have to type my AU Small Finance Bank transactions in by hand?

No. PennyWise reads the transaction SMS AU Small Finance Bank already sends you and creates the entry itself — amount, merchant, date, account and running balance where the message includes it.

Does PennyWise need my AU Small Finance Bank net-banking login or password?

Never. PennyWise has no login to your bank and no connection to AU Small Finance Bank at all. It only reads the SMS already sitting on your phone, which is why it needs SMS permission and nothing else.

Is my AU Small Finance Bank transaction data sent anywhere?

No. Parsing runs entirely on your device. There is no server, no account and no analytics on your financial data, and the source code is public so this can be verified.

What if a message from AU Small Finance Bank is read incorrectly?

You can paste the message into the parser tool on this site to see exactly what PennyWise extracts, and report it in one click if it is wrong. Parser fixes ship in the next release.
