Come off it. It's not that she doesn't understand money. She doesn't understand basic respect in a relationship. She understands money enough to realise she can leech loads off you and you'll just let her! Stop making excuses for her.0

She has suggested in the past that all her wages go into my account, I then work it all out (I have countless excel spreadsheets) and then basically transfer the £x spending money she has (Petrol, days out, food shopping).
She may have suggested it but she's never done it has she?Future Mrs Gerard Butler

I'd say she has a very astute understanding of money; use yours!

You say there is nothing else wrong in your relationship but
she goes out with friends,
she goes to the chinese with friends and
she goes on holiday with friends.
What do you do together? She doesn't sound ready for a grown up relationship.
Tell her Dad, or at least tell her you going to tell him......A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -

It's used by some parents to dole out pocket money to their kids. If the money's not there it won't dish it out.0 -

So you know her number? How about taking back what she has owed one month the day after her payday? Print out a cashmachine receipt and tell her you have done it -provide her with a list of money she has stolen from you that month that adds up to your withdrawal.
Seriously though - I have never shared a pin number with a partner (I know my Mums though!)A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -

Wow if that is the ONLY issue in your relationship.
Don't you recognise that this "issue" is SO SO BIG that it is exactly the reason you should NOT have a relationship.
This is (almost) the same as saying "we have a great relationship the ONLY problem we have is she hits me every Saturday night.
Please wake up.
