SUMMARY
It would be very helpful if the import wizard would prompt the user during import if a transaction doesn't match any existing payee.  Ideally this would give the user the ability to either select the correct payee which would add a new entry to the matching rules; or to proceed with creating a new payee.  This would greatly simplify the process of reconciliation, avoiding the need to track down the incorrectly imported payee, reassigning the transaction to the correct payee, and then updating the matching rules so it doesn't happen in the future.

REASONING
Many merchants use third-party payment processors (ex:  Square) that show up on bank/credit card statements with variable values such as SQ# <VENDOR> <#>.   These formats aren't always standardized and are known to change without warning.  I am aware the user currently has the option to update matching rules to account for differences.  However, doing so requires either looking at the export and updating the rules prior to each import; or by catching the mismatch after import then manually updating the rule and cleaning up transactions post-import.  I find myself usually in the latter case; being surprised of a new name and having to do clean up.  With more third-party processing this issues is becoming a routine annoyance.

Thanks for the consideration!
