What does the email contain? Are you mainly using it for tracking personal spending or just making sure you're aware when fraud happens?

FWIW, I'm thinking more into personal spending atm.

Both. I'll sometimes get a bill payment and immediate notice, "oh hey that's higher than usual. I ought to see why"

Also when I travel, it saves my butt all the time. Its how I detected a hotel totally screwing up the accomodation bill. Also gives me insight into exchange rate so I don't fool myself on prices.

Email contains vendor name, date, and price in Canadian dollars.

As part of testing out the API, I’d be happy to try it out and see how well it works although if all the other bank apps have it, then it kinda defeats the purpose.
