Import data from SMS

I can see now Wallet only has 2 ways for import bank data:
1. from excel file from bank statement: this is manual way
2. sync with bank: this way is very good, but is now very limited with list of banks & country (like now I cannot file any banks in Vietnam yet.

then I would propose another way that to import bank data from SMS like the below:
(i) Many users have the SMS notification from bank once a transaction is done. those SMS normally are formatted in a template with info like: bank account, date of transaction, amount, details... that we can easily to teach Wallet to learn the template for importing
(ii) Wallet can monitor the the SMS, that when SMS of a transaction received, Wallet can automatically update the transaction into right away.

With this function, I still can enjoy the automatic update with my Wallet during the function of Bank Sync is not available with my bank and my country yet.
Thanks
Anh

    also importing bank account statements through pdf feature would be also great as some banks does only provide statement in pdf format only

    Very useful feature!
    Bank link is available in my country, but I don't use it because of the sync time is several days. The whole idea of budgeting is to be constantly up-to-date, not after a couple of days.
    Another issue with bank link is it's not flexible - if for some reason I would like to move a transaction to another date (end of the month for example instead of start of the next month), I can't do it because the linked account is read-only.

    This would be very useful. As a simplest solution, have an sms generate a reminder record (like you have one-click record from the widget now) with the full text of the sms. User can easily fix it up later on.
