Categories list

Ockto has fully in-house data models for enriching the bank transactions from PSD2 with valuable insights. Core to these insights is our engine for categorisation. Through intelligent modelling, we assign a detailed category to each transaction, which describes their functional meaning.

As of today, the data output only contains the category description, but the higher level grouping (like ‘income’ or ‘telecom’) is not provided in the output. This is just a conceptual grouping to make the list of categories easier to interpret.

The code attribute is work in progress and not yet available in the output.

Income Groups

We have specific categories that indicate various forms of income, including but not limited to salaries, government benefits and allowances.
