Does Winnow require a connected bank account?
No. Winnow does not require a live bank connection. You choose the receipts, manual entries, recurring transactions, and optional statements you want to use.
How Winnow works
Winnow combines receipts, manual entries, recurring transactions, and optional statement review into one searchable purchase history.
Scan a receipt, forward a digital receipt, add a transaction manually, or keep a recurring cost on record.
Winnow extracts the merchant, totals, tax, tips, and individual items from receipts you add.
Built-in categories, custom groupings, and editable smart rules make the record easier to use.
Upload a statement when you want to compare it with recorded transactions and review unmatched rows.
Search purchase history, watch category budgets, export records, and split shared costs with others.
The useful difference
A bank statement may show a single store total. Winnow connects that total to the individual purchases, categories, and source receipt behind it.
