You can connect your bank accounts to Weekly to make entering your transactions in easier and also so you make sure you don’t miss any transactions. If you connect your bank accounts (and credit card accounts) Weekly will periodically check your bank for new transaction and then download them so you can map them to your budget items, Safe-to-Spend, Funds or you can ignore them.
We use a third party service called Plaid, to handle the connecting and downloading of transactions (see also: How does Weekly handle information security.”
