Step 1: Link Your Accounts in MoneyRoo

Before handling transfers, ensure all your accounts are connected. MoneyRoo supports easy integration for banks, cards, cash logs, and savings via secure APIs or manual setup.

Open the app and navigate to the "Accounts" tab in the dashboard.
Tap "Add Account" and select the type (e.g., bank or savings).
Follow prompts to link via Plaid for auto-sync or enter details manually for cash/wallets.
Verify balances to confirm everything's accurate— this prevents transfer mismatches.

Once linked, your dashboard will show a unified view, making transfers feel effortless.

Step 2: Initiate a Transfer Entry

With accounts ready, start recording a transfer to reflect real money movement without double-counting expenses or income.

Go to the "Transactions" section and select "Add Transaction."
Choose "Transfer" from the transaction type dropdown.
Pick the source account (e.g., checking) and destination (e.g., savings), then enter the amount.
Add a date, optional note like "Emergency fund boost," and save.

This step ensures MoneyRoo treats it as a neutral movement, not spending, keeping your net worth precise.

Step 3: Categorize and Tag for Clarity

Categorization helps track patterns, like regular savings shifts, without cluttering your expense reports.

After saving the transfer, edit it via the transaction details.
Assign a category such as "Internal Transfer" or a custom one like "Savings Allocation."
Use tags (e.g., #MonthlySavings) for quick filtering in reports.
If recurring, set it up in the "Recurring Items" menu to automate future entries.

Pro tip: Review categories monthly to refine them, ensuring transfers align with your goals.

Step 4: Verify and Reconcile Transfers

Accuracy is key—double-check to catch errors from bank delays or manual inputs.

Head to the "Reconciliation" tool under each account.
Compare MoneyRoo's records against bank statements or app notifications.
Flag any discrepancies (e.g., pending transfers) and adjust dates or amounts as needed.
Use the AI scanner if you have a receipt or statement PDF: upload it to auto-populate details.

Regular verification keeps your dashboard charts reliable for spotting trends.

Step 5: Review Impact on Budget and Goals

See how transfers affect your big picture, like accelerating savings progress.

Switch to the "Budget" or "Goals" view post-transfer.
Check how the movement updates category balances and goal timelines (e.g., faster completion dates).
Run a quick report: Filter by transfers in the analytics section to analyze flows.
Adjust future budgets if patterns emerge, like over-transferring from essentials.

This final check empowers proactive tweaks for better financial flow.

What to Expect After Setup

Once mastered, transfers will sync automatically if accounts are linked, reducing manual work by up to 70%. You'll notice cleaner reports and goal progress, with AI flagging anomalies for quick fixes.
