Automated Commonwealth Bank Charge Checks
When a payment lands, WebRun opens Commonwealth Bank, reads the outgoing transaction and the merchant, compares it against your known list of direct debits and recurring payments, drafts a Gmail note when the charge is new, changed, or duplicated, and books a review date in Google Calendar.
How do I catch an unexpected recurring charge on my bank account?
When a payment lands in your Commonwealth Bank account, WebRun reads the merchant and amount and compares it against your known direct debits and recurring payments. It drafts a Gmail note whenever a charge is new, changed, or duplicated and books a review date in Google Calendar, so a forgotten subscription gets cancelled before it renews.
- New and changed debits are flagged the day they land
- Every alert carries the previous amount for a direct comparison
- Cancel by dates sit in the calendar before the next renewal
Built for account holders · household budgeters · small business owners · office administrators

Questions, answered
Can it move money or cancel a direct debit?
No. WebRun only reads your transactions. It never transfers funds, pays a bill, cancels a debit, or contacts a merchant. Every note is a Gmail draft and every action stays with you.
How does it know a charge is unexpected?
It compares each outgoing payment against your own list of known regular debits and against the same merchant's history on the account, so a new merchant, a changed amount, or a second charge in one cycle stands out.
What if the amount just went up with inflation?
It still tells you, with the previous amount and date alongside the new one. A small rise you accept takes a second to dismiss, and one you did not agree to gets caught the day it lands.
