Five Canadian banks

LiveSpend works with credit cards from these banks when they send a per-purchase email alert that LiveSpend can read.

  • RBC
  • Scotiabank
  • BMO
  • CIBC
  • National Bank

Inbox

Your alerts reach a supported inbox

Connect the inbox where your bank sends purchase alerts. LiveSpend supports Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live, and eligible Microsoft 365 work or school accounts. An organization administrator may need to approve a Microsoft 365 connection. Yahoo Mail, iCloud Mail, and other providers are not available yet.

Card type

Focused on credit cards

LiveSpend is built for credit card spending. Debit purchases and Interac e-Transfers stay outside this view, keeping the experience focused on your card cycle.

Availability

Support stays focused for now

TD, AMEX, and institutions not listed above are not available today. LiveSpend adds a bank only when it can read its purchase alerts reliably.

One quick setup step. Purchase alerts are usually off until you turn them on. LiveSpend walks you through the bank-specific setup, then keeps using those alerts as you spend.
