Payee should be associated with contact

[sghtjbi]

I received a payment from HSBC and the payee’s name is in the format “SURNAME A B C”. I have this person as a contact and their bank details are under this contact so the payment should show up as the contacts name but doesn’t. This means that if I want to look at payments from this person I have to search two names.
What I’m asking for is: when a payment is received from a bank account which is under a contact, the payment should show up as that contact.

Hi welcome to the forum. What you’re describing is part of improved payee management and it’s been something that’s been talked about a lot on here. You can vote on it here:

Improved payee management

Just because I can’t see it here to vote on… We’d love to be able to: merge existing payees to create a single contact create a new payee without making a payment add pictures to contacts edit the details of an existing contact

Hopefully it will get some love soon

You could merge them together if you wanted?

Is that an Android only thing? Can’t see how to do this on mine

I believe it is > ‘Merge Payees’ in Labs

Nope, not there. Guess it is Android only then?

I believe it is

Yes - Android only at this point.

Read it as “I believe it is in ‘Merge Payee’ in Labs’. Full stops are a thing!
