Before you get started

Check if LiveSpend works with your card.

LiveSpend currently works with credit cards from five Canadian banks, using Gmail transaction alerts to keep your spending current. Here is exactly what you need.

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 arrive in Gmail

Connect the Gmail inbox where your bank sends purchase alerts. Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo, iCloud Mail, and other inboxes 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.
