It seems to be able to view the total pot balance but unable to pick up on in pot transactions such as bills, withdrawals or deposits.

I raised this [here](https://community.emma-app.com/t/starling-discussion-feedback/25/76) months ago. Anything posted in the Starling thread is met with tumbleweed though…

It’s the same for Monzo. Just the balance. I don’t think this is an Emma issue as such, I just don’t think transactions are being passed for pots by the banks. Why? I have no idea. Perhaps @edoardomoreni could shed some light.

Monzo introduced pots for business banking and this was great. Add a virtual card to each pot and it was a great way to ring-fence future expenses. Or so I thought. Until the automated bank statement transfer confirmed there were no pot transactions being passed to Xero accounting. So a statement has to be manually, pulled in for all pots defeating the object of automation. I guess for some reason, these aren’t passed through Open Banking.

Edit. Sorry, didn’t realise this was an old thread. It showed up on my DiscourseHub thread as new 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yes, you are right. They don’t pass those transactions.

I think it would make sense now that they support virtual cards, otherwise it would have been just a list of transfers.
