Anthropic gives Claude read-only US bank access for spending questions
Original title: Anthropic adds bank account access to Claude so users can track their spending
The Personal Finance beta is for Pro, Max, and Ultra subscribers and connects through Plaid so Claude never sees bank passwords.
Anthropic is launching Personal Finance, a beta that lets Claude users in the United States connect bank accounts and ask questions about spending. Access is read-only: Claude cannot move, manage, or invest funds, and the link runs through Plaid. Anthropic says those chats will not train models, it will not show ads, and users can disconnect anytime. Longer term, the company wants ties to licensed advisors and regulated firms.
Unconfirmed: Plans to connect licensed advisors and regulated firms are Anthropic's stated intention, not a launched service.
- The beta is limited to Pro, Max, and Ultra subscribers in the US.
- Users can categorize spending, review upcoming payments, or compare income with expenses.
- Anthropic says it will not show ads or sponsored recommendations.
- OpenAI already offers a similar US feature called Finances.
