My agent reviews my card spending every week and flags anything odd

Every week his agent scans every credit card, breaks spending down by family member, flags anything odd, and lists every charge from high to low. He says it catches things he could miss. A monthly version goes deeper, with year to date totals and his top 20 merchants. His transactions come through Plaid's read only connector.

  3. Flags odd charges
  4. Lists charges high to low
  5. A monthly version adds year to date totals and top merchants

Why it’s worth knowing

Splitting the same charges by family member is what makes the odd ones stand out.
