Explore your merchant spending

Compare merchants and find the transactions behind each amount.

After signing in, open Help in the sidebar to start an interactive guide.

You need spending transactions in the period you have selected.

How to do it

  1. Open Merchants in the sidebar, or select View all merchants under Merchants on Home.
  2. Choose a period length, then move between periods to see how merchant spending changes.
  3. Switch the top-merchant chart between the spending ranking, trend sparklines, the share donut, the treemap and the composition bar. Share is the default. Nora remembers your chart and period length for this account in this browser, though an explicit selection in a link wins. These preferences do not sync across devices.
  4. Search, sort, or filter by category, account and recurring activity to find the merchant you want.
  5. Open a merchant or category name for its detail view, or select an amount to read the transactions behind it.

A name opens the merchant details. An amount opens the supporting transactions with the same period, currency and filters.

Having trouble?
  • Rankings count posted spending only, leaving out pending activity and transfers. A different transaction filter can give you a different total.
  • Nora never adds amounts across currencies. Use the currency selector to see spending held in another account currency.
  • System category names follow your language. Custom names stay exactly as you typed them.
  • If no merchants match, clear the search and filters, or choose another period, before you try again.
  • Clear filters beside the search box resets the search, category, account and recurring filters while keeping the period and currency. If an update or another page fails to load, use Retry in the error message.
  • In share views, Other is the remaining merchants added together rather than a merchant of its own.
