Enriched data points
Yapily’s categorisation product returns additional information for individual transactions, providing a more detailed summary of each transaction.
Categorisation provides the following additional information for transactions:
| Field | Description |
| Category | A category that our model has predicted best describes the transaction’s characteristics. |
| Payment processor | The intermediary merchant of the transaction (i.e The payment processor). |
| Merchant | The normalised merchant name (if a merchant is present). |
| Recurrences Type | Indicates whether a transaction is a one-time transfer, e.g. purchasing a mattress (one-off), regularly repeats with personalized pricing, e.g. utilities, mortgage (recurring), regularly repeats with fixed pricing (subscription). |
