Temporary Solution Needed: Track IndusInd DC use in Singapore for a week

My dad is heading to Singapore for a week, and I'm letting him use my IndusInd Bank debit card since it has 0 forex markup (trying to avoid those charges!).

The issue is, he wants to be able to track his expenses in real-time (or as close to it as possible) when he swipes the card. For some reason, IndusInd Bank doesn't send email alerts for debit card transactions, which would have been the easiest solution with email forwarding. Yes, I confirmed with Indusind.

I'm looking for a temporary way for him to keep an eye on the spending.

Here's what we've considered/the constraints:
  1. No email alerts from IndusInd Bank.
  2. Need real-time or near real-time tracking after each transaction.
  3. Temporary solution for just a week.
What are our options?
  • Indie App: I could give him my login, but SIM verification isn't possible.
  • SMS Alerts: Can we auto forward SMS from Indusind automatically to him?
  • Third-Party Expense Tracking Apps: Are there any free expense trackers that can be installed on both devices so he can see txns via my SMS alerts?
Has anyone faced a similar situation? What worked for you? Any other creative solutions I haven't thought of?
