EXPENDITURE CATEGORIZATION AND TRACKING SYSTEM

摘要

An improved system is provided for automatically tracking check transactions and generating an expenditure statement (112) thereof using printed bank checks (8) having a plurality of graphic icons (28) disposed thereon. The bank customer marks the icon which describes the particular expense for which the check payment is being made. The payor bank or a check processing center scans each check to determine which icon(s) have been marked for each particular check transaction. Recorded expenditures are then automatically recorded in a cumulative transaction record. Periodically, this information is organized into a detailed expenditure statement (112) that can be provided to the bank customer.
