What's new in Bank Boost: May 2026

May was one of the biggest update months yet for Bank Boost.

The main theme was simple:

Make Bank Boost less manual, more useful, and better connected to how people actually manage their money.

Here’s what changed in Bank Boost in May 2026, and how each update helps.

1. Bank statement import comes to Profit Tracker

Until now, the Profit Tracker has been useful for tracking money made from bank switches, cashback offers, side hustles and other Bank Boost activity.

But there was one obvious problem.

Manual entry takes time.

If you forgot to update your tracker for a few weeks, or wanted to add lots of real spending data, it could feel like a chore.

So in May, we added bank statement import.

You can now upload a bank export and bring transactions into your Profit Tracker much faster.

The importer supports:

• CSV files

• PDF bank statements

• drag-and-drop upload

• category editing

• duplicate detection

• recurring payment detection

• workspace matching

That means you are not just blindly dumping a statement into your tracker.

You can upload the file, review the extracted transactions, choose what to keep, fix anything that needs changing, then confirm the import.

Why this matters

This update makes the Profit Tracker much easier to keep up to date.

Instead of manually adding every subscription, bill, cashback payment or spending entry one by one, you can import a statement and tidy it up from a review screen.

That is especially useful if you want to:

• catch up after a busy month

• track spending from a specific account

• import personal expenses

• spot recurring payments

• add lots of historical transactions

• check whether your tracker matches your real bank activity

For me, this is one of the biggest quality-of-life improvements we’ve made to the tracker.

It turns the Profit Tracker from something you have to constantly maintain into something you can update in batches.

Import, review, then confirm

The important part is the review step.

After uploading your file, you can check the imported transactions before they are saved.

That means you can:

• remove anything you do not want to track

• change the category

• switch a transaction between income and expense

• check whether something has been marked as a duplicate

• check whether something has been auto-matched as recurring

This matters because bank statement data is not always perfect.

Merchant names can be messy.
Categories can need tweaking.
Some payments are personal.
Some payments belong in your Bank Boost tracker.
Some payments should not be imported at all.

The review screen gives you control before anything is added.

2. Ask Your Tracker

The next big Profit Tracker update is Ask Your Tracker.

This is exactly what it sounds like.

Instead of manually filtering your ledger, adding totals, checking categories or searching through entries, you can ask your tracker a question in plain English.

For example:

• “How much did I make this month?”

• “What was my bank switch profit?”

• “How many offers did I complete this month?”

• “How much did I spend yesterday?”

• “What are my biggest expenses?”

• “What is my subscription total?”

• “How much did I spend on groceries?”

• “What was my best income source?”

Ask Your Tracker works with the data inside your tracker, so the answers are based on the entries you have added or imported.

It also understands which workspace you are using.

So if you are in the Bank Boosts workspace, the suggestions focus on things like offers and bank switch profit.

If you are in the Personal workspace, the suggestions focus more on spending, subscriptions and everyday money.

Why this matters

This is a big step away from the tracker being just a table of entries.

You can now use it more like a money assistant.

That is useful because the questions people actually have are usually simple:

Did I make money this month?
Where did my money go?
Which offer type is working best?
How much am I spending on recurring payments?
Am I actually keeping the profit I’m making?

Ask Your Tracker is designed to make those answers easier to find.

You do not need to export a spreadsheet.

You do not need to manually filter every category.

You can just ask.

3. Personal workspace in Profit Tracker

Until now, the Profit Tracker was mainly focused on Bank Boost activity.

That meant things like:

• bank switch rewards

• cashback

• referral profit

• side hustle income

• offer-related expenses

That is still a major part of the tracker.

But in May, we added a new Personal workspace.

This lets you track everyday spending separately from your Bank Boost income.

So instead of mixing everything together, you can now separate:

This is a big change.

It means the Profit Tracker is no longer only about tracking how much you made from offers.

It can also help you understand where your normal money is going.

Personal categories

The Personal workspace is designed for everyday categories such as:

• Home & bills

• Food & groceries

• Dining & social

• Transport

• Shopping

• Subscriptions

• Health & fitness

• Travel

• Other spending

You can use it to track normal life spending without messing up your Bank Boost numbers.

That separation matters.

If you make £250 from a bank switch and spend £70 on groceries, those two things should not really sit in the same mental bucket.

One is offer profit.

The other is everyday spending.

The new workspace setup helps keep those stories separate.

Net Profit vs Net Balance

The workspace also changes the way the tracker talks about your money.

In the Bank Boosts workspace, the focus is Net Profit.

That makes sense because you are usually tracking money made from offers, minus any costs.

In the Personal workspace, the focus is closer to Net Balance.

That makes sense because you are looking at money in, money out, and what is left.

It is a small wording change, but it matters.

The same tracker can now work for two different jobs:

• How much did I make?

• How much did I keep?

4. Recurring payments are easier to track

Another major May update is the recurring payments tool.

This is designed to help you keep track of payments that repeat.

That could include:

• subscriptions

• free trials

• direct debits

• memberships

• app payments

• insurance payments

• bill payments

• bank switch direct debits

• cancellation or expiry dates

Recurring payments are easy to forget.

A £3.99 subscription here, a £7.99 trial there, a £12.99 membership somewhere else — it adds up quickly.

The recurring tool is designed to make those payments easier to spot and manage, especially across multiple bank accounts.

New subscriptions found

One of the most useful parts of this update is how it connects with bank statement imports.

When imported transactions look like they might be recurring, Bank Boost can surface them as New Subscriptions Found.

From there, you can review them and decide what to do.

You can:

• approve the payment and link it to your recurring dashboard

• dismiss it if it is not actually recurring

• keep your tracker cleaner

• avoid missing payments that repeat quietly in the background

This is the kind of feature that becomes more useful over time.

The more complete your tracker is, the easier it becomes to see which payments are repeating.

Mark entries as recurring

You can also mark a tracker entry as recurring manually.

That is useful when you notice a payment and want it tracked in the recurring dashboard.

For example:

• Netflix

• Spotify

• gym membership

• phone bill

• broadband

• credit card repayment

• bank switch direct debit

• free trial renewal

The goal is simple:

If a payment repeats, Bank Boost should help you notice it before it quietly keeps costing you money.

5. Cashback comparison tool launched

May was not only about the Profit Tracker.

We also launched the cashback comparison tool.

This is designed for one of the most common Bank Boost problems:

Where should I start before I shop?

Cashback can be messy.

One retailer might have a rate on TopCashback.
Another might be better on Quidco.
There might be a gift card discount somewhere else.
A rewards app might have a better temporary offer.
A card-linked offer might stack differently.

The cashback comparison tool is designed to make that decision easier.

Instead of checking lots of places manually, you can compare routes before you buy.

Why this matters

The cashback comparison tool is there to help you make a better decision before you buy.

The aim is not just to find cashback.

It is to find the best route for that purchase.

6. Matched betting for beginners course launched

We also launched a full matched betting for beginners course.

Matched betting can be confusing when you first hear about it.

There are free bets, qualifying bets, odds, exchanges, liability, lay bets, back bets, tracking, bookmaker terms and lots of small details that matter.

The new beginner course is designed to make the process easier to understand from the start.

It gives users a more structured way to learn the basics before trying anything.

The course is built for people who want to understand:

• what matched betting is

• how free bet offers work

• why odds matching matters

• how to think about qualifying bets

• what common beginner mistakes to avoid

• how to track profit properly

• why terms and conditions matter

• how to stay disciplined

Since matched betting is one of the most popular side hustles in the UK, I thought this would be the best place to start for the Side Hustle section of the app. There will be many more side hustle courses on the way to keep stacking profits long term.

You can find the Matched Betting for Beginners course here.

7. Smaller Profit Tracker improvements

Alongside the headline features, May 2026 also included smaller improvements that make the Profit Tracker feel more complete.

These are the kinds of updates that may not need their own announcement, but they make a real difference when you use the app regularly.

Tracker Toolkit

The Profit Tracker now has a more useful toolkit area.

This gives quicker access to things like:

• Categories

• Templates

• Recurring Entries

• Statement Import

• Action History

• Export Data

That makes the tracker easier to manage.

Instead of hunting around for settings or tools, the main actions are grouped together in one place.

Action History and undo

We also added an Action History area.

This gives you a feed of recent actions across the Profit Tracker and Recurring tool.

It can help with those moments where you think:

What did I just change?
Did I delete the wrong thing?
Can I reverse that?

Where supported, actions can be undone.

That should make the tracker feel safer to use, especially when importing or editing lots of entries.

Better highlights

The tracker also has better highlight cards.

These can help you quickly spot useful things like:

• top income sources

• biggest expenses

• key categories

• where the money is coming from

• where the money is going

This is useful because not every insight needs a full report.

Sometimes you just want to know:

What mattered most this month?

Better charts and mobile insights

The analytics area has also been improved.

The tracker can show different chart views, including trend and category-style views, and the layout is more workspace-aware.

That means the tracker feels more relevant whether you are looking at Bank Boost profit or personal spending.

The mobile experience has also been improved, so insights are easier to access on smaller screens.

Workspace-aware exports and settings

The Personal workspace also changes how settings and exports work.

You can manage categories, templates and data tools with the active workspace in mind.

That means you can keep Bank Boost tracking and personal tracking separate when managing your data.

This is especially useful if you want to export one side without mixing it with the other.

What May’s updates mean for Bank Boost

The big picture is this:

Bank Boost is becoming more connected.

Before, you might have used separate tools for everything:

• one app for cashback

• one spreadsheet for profit

• one note for subscriptions

• one bank statement for spending

• one guide for matched betting

• one calculator for totals

May’s updates move more of that into Bank Boost.

You can now:

• find cashback routes

• import real transactions

• track Bank Boost income

• track personal spending

• ask questions about your data

• monitor recurring payments

• learn matched betting

• compare before you shop

That is the direction we want to keep building in.

Not just “here are some offers”.

But:

Here is a better way to find, track, understand and keep more of the money you make.
