FinMan's Telegram bot is a free way to feed your finances without opening an app: send a photo of a utility meter, a fuel receipt or the odometer, or a bank statement file, and the bot recognises it and saves it to your FinMan account. The same bot runs in WhatsApp, and everything appears in the web and Android app.
Most expense trackers die of friction: you have to open the app, find the right screen and type. FinMan lives where you already are — in Telegram. A photo of the meter, the fuel receipt or the odometer is enough; the bot does the rest and the record shows up in your FinMan account.
How it works
- Open the FinMan bot in Telegram and sign in once
- Send a photo of a meter, a fuel receipt or the odometer — or a bank statement file
- Confirm what the bot recognised
✅ The record is in your account — in the app, on every device
What the bot accepts
A photo of a utility meter, a fuel receipt, a fuel-pump display or the odometer, and bank statement files (CSV, XLSX, PDF). AI reads the photo and suggests the reading, the amount and the category; you confirm or correct it right in the chat. Readings and refuels go to the right address or car.
One bot for the whole family — and for tenants
Members of your family group use the same bot and see one shared picture of spending. A landlord can invite a tenant with a link: the tenant sends meter photos to the bot and sees only that address, never the owner's finances.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to install anything to use the FinMan Telegram bot?
- No. Open the bot in Telegram, press Start and sign in once — it links to your FinMan account, which you can also open in the browser or the Android app.
- Can I track expenses in WhatsApp instead of Telegram?
- Yes. FinMan runs the same bot in WhatsApp: fuel receipts, meter and odometer photos and statement files work the same way, and both bots write to the same account.
- Is the Telegram bot free?
- Yes. Sending readings, refuels and statements through the bot is part of the free plan. AI photo recognition counts against the free plan's monthly AI allowance; Premium lifts that limit.
- Which languages does the bot speak?
- The bot replies in the language of your FinMan account — the same languages the web and Android app are available in.
