What is transfer?

A transfer moves money between your own accounts, such as checking to savings, or paying a credit card from checking.

Transfers aren't spending. Counting them as spending makes your totals look much higher than they are.

Why your spending looks twice as high as it is — and how to fix it.

Why some charges change, disappear, or take days to show up.
