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