A bank transaction shows money moving. A receipt explains the purchase. Keeping the two together makes a record easier to review.
Terrapin searches connected sources and matches available evidence to transaction information. Banks provide transactions, not receipts.
How it works
- Connect the supported sources containing your purchase evidence and transaction information.
- Search for receipts and invoices.
- Review available matches against the original evidence.
- Investigate transactions that still lack supporting paperwork.

What to check before accepting a match
Compare the merchant, date, amount, and currency. A merchant's trading name can differ from its bank descriptor, and the posting date can differ from the purchase date.
Tips, refunds, foreign-exchange charges, and split payments can also explain differences. Do not force a match simply because two amounts look similar.
What Terrapin does and does not do
Terrapin helps connect available evidence to recorded spend and shows what is still missing. It does not create a receipt from a bank entry or guarantee a match for every transaction.
A receipt match also does not decide whether an expense is deductible or approved under your policy.
FAQ
Is a bank statement the same as a receipt?
No. It records payment information but may not explain the items purchased or the applicable tax.
What if several receipts look like a match?
Check the original documents and payment details. Treat uncertainty as something to review rather than evidence of a confirmed match.
What if no receipt is found?
Check other connected sources, confirm the purchase account, and request a replacement from the merchant where needed.
