Hi, can Monzo catorgise spend by Amazon top level category, especially into multi category. It would be teally useful rather than going through each one, one by one.  
Many thanks

I don’t really know what you’re trying to say in either of the threads you’ve made.

But Monzo will remember how you categorise a purchase and will do that in future. You can also change one and change all the others at the same time.

We have categories like Pets, Housewares, Clothing etc and often buy all three on the one Amazon order.  
Yes I know I can split the categories manually but would it be possible to do this automatically using category meta data from Amazon.

No, it’s not possible. Monzo have no idea what you’ve just bought.

AFAIK you can’t split categories for a single transaction anyway so automatic or not, you can’t do this.

Actually you can split a single transaction into multiple categories. Its pretty useful.
