Review a saved category warning

Understand why Institution can keep a saved choice while flagging conflicting evidence.

Updated 2026-11-11

The detail may say that a saved category needs a second look. Institution keeps the saved choice while presenting a rationale that may conflict with it. The warning invites review; it does not mean the account was silently replaced.

  1. Read the saved category and the warning’s explanation.
  2. Compare the transaction purpose with the receipt, contract, or other supporting record.
  3. Keep or change the category through the available edit flow based on that evidence.

Check before making a future rule

A questionable choice should not become a repeatable rule just because the merchant name is familiar. Resolve the current transaction’s purpose first, then inspect the proposed rule scope separately if you intend to reuse the account.

A broad vendor classification may be less specific than your supporting document, so a warning does not automatically make the manual decision wrong. Equally, a previously saved choice can be mistaken or no longer fit the current payment. The useful outcome is a supported decision with a clear reason. Review the transaction’s import or recorded status afterward so you know whether the account change is a saved source choice or requires a separate accounting action.
