Can you please make the date of the transaction appear on the transaction page. Trying consolidate what I see in my online banking and the transactions page is onerous without seeing the dates.
The Transactions page groups everything under date headers (like "Aug 9, 2026") above each day's transactions, so I want to make sure I understand what's missing for you.
Could you share a screenshot of the screen where you're not seeing dates?

The date of the actual transaction versus the date that Waypoint received the data. RBC now forces two step authentication and we don't check our transactions daily so it is difficult to match online records and waypoint records.

Thanks @Mags Kretc, that helps me understand the ask. One clarification: the date shown in the app is not the date we received the data. It is the date your bank reports for the transaction, so a late sync does not shift any dates.
What you are seeing is the gap between when you make a purchase and when the bank posts it. A card purchase on a Friday often posts the following Monday, and RBC's data feed gives us the posted date, which is the same date RBC lists in your online banking activity. RBC does not include the original purchase date in the feed, so we are not able to display it. This is a limitation of bank data feeds generally, and other budgeting apps that connect to banks work the same way.
When matching against your RBC records, the posted dates in the app should line up with the dates in your RBC account activity, and matching by amount is usually the quickest way to reconcile the last day or two.
