Transactions

How do I search and filter transactions?

Type in the search box to find a merchant, your bank's wording, a note or an amount. Use the filter chips (or the filter button on a phone) to narrow the list by dates, accounts, category, tags, amount and type.

Updated Oct 17, 2026

Search and filters work together and change the list as you go. The In · Out · Net totals follow whatever you narrow down.

On a computer the search box sits above the list; press / to jump to it. On a phone it's the Search my transactions bar. Press Esc or tap the × to clear it.

Search looks at:

  • The merchant name you see
  • Your bank's original wording, so a merchant you renamed is still found
  • Your notes
  • Items you listed on a purchase, and the names of files you kept with it
  • Amounts: 45.20 finds that exact amount, and 45 finds anything from $45.00 to $45.99, money in or out

Every word you type has to match somewhere, in any order. Put a phrase in quotes, like "tim hortons", to match it as one piece.

Filter the list

  1. Open the filters

    On a computer, click a chip under the search, like Dates or Accounts, or Filters to see them all. On a phone, tap the filter button beside the search bar.

  2. Choose what to see

    Each change applies straight away, and the list behind refreshes.

  3. Close the panel

    The button at the bottom shows how many results match; tap it to close. Clear all removes every filter.

Filter

What it does

Dates

All time, This month, Last month, Last 3 months, This year, Last year, or your own From and To days. One end on its own works too.

Accounts

Any number of accounts. Tap a bank's name to pick all its accounts at once. Nothing picked means every account.

Category

One category at a time, or Uncategorized for what's still to sort. A split shows up under each of its parts' categories.

Tags

Transactions with any of the tags you pick. Shown once you have tags.

Amount

Ranges like Under $10 or $100 – $500, or your own minimum and maximum (then Apply range). The sign is ignored, so a $40 charge and a $40 refund both match.

Type

Money in, money out, or both.

Rewards

Purchases by what they earned on your credit cards, if you have the card rewards tracker.

Under Show only, switch on Needs review (not marked reviewed yet), Recurring (subscriptions, bills and regular income), Pending (not posted by your bank yet) or Hide excluded (leave out transactions ignored from everything).

Sorting lives in the same panel, under Sort. See columns and saved views.

Change or clear a filter

On a computer, each filter in use shows its value on its chip. Click a chip to change it, its × to clear it, or Clear all to clear every filter. Clearing doesn't change your sort. In a narrower window, only the filters in use show as chips, and the rest are under Filters.

Keep a filtered list

Your search and filters are part of the page's web address, so you can bookmark it or keep the link to come back to the same list. It only ever shows your own transactions, once you're signed in.

To keep a filtered list one click away inside Finly Money, save it as a view. See columns and saved views.

To search all of Finly Money (pages, accounts, categories and transactions), press ⌘K on a Mac or Ctrl K on Windows. See searching Finly Money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Search also looks at your bank's original wording, your notes, purchase items and file names. Put the name in quotes to match it as one phrase.

Accounts you've ignored are left out of every total, so they're hidden from the filter. See ignoring an account.

No. They only change what the Transactions page shows.
