Bank texts into Akimoa, by themselves

iPhone doesn't let apps read your messages. Instead, you set up a free Shortcut once: when a bank text arrives, your iPhone hands just that text to Akimoa, which reads it on the phone and waits for your OK. Nothing is uploaded.

1. Add the Akimoa Shortcut

   Open this link on your iPhone and tap Add Shortcut. It has one step: “Log bank message” in Akimoa.

   Get “Akimoa bank text”

2. Start a Message automation

   Open the Shortcuts app → Automation tab → + → Message.

   Message Containsdebited

   Run ImmediatelyOn

   Notify When RunOff

3. Set the word and run it immediately

   Under Message Contains, type a word your bank uses, like debited. Choose Run Immediately so it never asks, then tap Next.

4. Pick the Akimoa Shortcut

   Under My Shortcuts, choose Akimoa bank text. Tap Done.

   When I get a message containing “debited”

   Run Akimoa bank text✓

5. Repeat for your bank's other words

   Add one automation each for spent and credited (or the words your bank uses), each running the same Shortcut.

6. Try it

   Send yourself a text like “Rs 250 spent at Test Cafe” and open Akimoa: it waits in Money → Log from bank messages for your OK.

Tip: test with iPhone Mirroring closed — automations may not run while the iPhone is mirrored to a Mac. If Akimoa says “Needs a fix”, the automation is running a step that isn't the Akimoa Shortcut; pick Akimoa bank text again in step 4.

What Akimoa does with the text

Only the text of that one message reaches Akimoa. It's read on your phone, one-time codes are never kept, and nothing is added until you confirm it. See how we keep data safe.
