FAQ
What does Viollet do?
+
Viollet turns bank email notifications into categorized transactions, budgets, account activity, and financial insights.
Is this a replacement for my bank app?
+
No. Your bank app remains the source of truth. Viollet organizes the notifications your bank already sends.
Can Viollet categorize transactions automatically?
+
Yes. Viollet extracts transaction details and applies practical categories that can be corrected and improved over time.
Can I review the original bank notification?
+
Yes. The app is designed around email traceability so you can verify the notification behind a transaction.
Does Viollet support budgets and goals?
+
Yes. Viollet connects organized transactions to budgets, spending views, and savings goals.
Which banks are supported?
+
Viollet supports institutions that send parseable transaction notifications by email. The banks page shows the configured catalog.
Do you read my personal email?
+
Viollet is designed to process authorized financial notifications, not personal conversations or unrelated email.
Can you support a bank that is not listed?
+
Potentially. If the institution sends transaction notifications by email, Viollet can evaluate the sender and format for support.
Are only Dominican banks supported?
+
The initial catalog focuses strongly on Dominican institutions, but the model works with any institution that sends parseable transaction notifications.
What if my bank changes its email format?
+
Processing may need an update. The advantage is that support can be adjusted at the email parsing layer without direct bank credentials.
Do I share bank credentials?
+
No. Viollet does not ask for bank usernames or passwords.
How does the trial work?
+
You can test the beta for 30 days with a trial email allowance before choosing a paid plan.
Can I revoke access?
+
Yes. You can disconnect Gmail, change selected institutions, or stop forwarding notifications.
Why not connect directly to my bank?
+
Viollet avoids bank credential sharing. It works from notification emails because that keeps the access model narrower.
What does Viollet store?
+
Viollet stores the data needed to show transactions, categories, accounts, budgets, and source context for your financial workflow.
