Snap it

Check it and save
You land on Check your receipt, with the photo next to what we read. The green chip says how fast it was read.

Receipts to check
A snapped receipt doesn't count in your totals or reports until you save it. Unsaved ones wait under Money → Expenses, in the receipts to check banner, and on Today. Changed your mind? Open it and tap Discard receipt.
