You can create naming and category rules so you don't have to edit the same types of transactions over and over again. Once you create a rule, Mint will automatically recategorize and/or rename all future and past transactions according to your rule.
Note: Rules do not apply to transactions which are manually added, pending, or associated with Loans and Investments accounts.
Follow these instructions to create a transaction rule.
