A real Standard Bank Mozambique 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 Standard Bank Mozambique alerts.
  2. PennyWise scans the Standard Bank Mozambique messages already on your phone and back-fills your transaction history in seconds.
  3. Every new Standard Bank Mozambique 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 Standard Bank Mozambique?

Yes. Standard Bank Mozambique is one of 157 banks and payment services PennyWise recognises. Transaction alerts from Standard Bank Mozambique are detected automatically and turned into categorised transactions in MZN.

Do I have to type my Standard Bank Mozambique transactions in by hand?

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

Does PennyWise need my Standard Bank Mozambique net-banking login or password?

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

Is my Standard Bank Mozambique 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 Standard Bank Mozambique 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.
