Privacy Policy: https://hesabatypersonal.vercel.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ โ€” AUTOMATIC SMS TRACKING โ€” Hesabaty parses bank SMS from 12 Egyptian banks (CIB, NBE, Banque Misr, AAIB, QNB, ADCB, HSBC, Emirates NBD, Mashreq, Suez Canal Bank, Faisal Islamic, ABC) using a one-time iOS Shortcut setup. Every transaction lands in your dashboard the moment your bank texts you โ€” no copy-paste, no waiting until end of month. โ€” APPLE PAY READY โ€” Tap, pay, tracked.
