After connecting a bank for the first time, it can take up to 24-48 hours for the first transactions to be imported into EveryDollar. These transactions will be from several days back, however, our team is happy to assist with requesting transactions for dates as far as 60 days back. Just provide us with a desirable date range.
Here are some important things to know about transaction syncing:
- Banks don't typically post transactions during weekends or holidays. Most transactions from this time frame should appear in EveryDollar by Tuesday of the following week.
- Transactions normally show up within 24-48 hours after the purchase has been "posted" to the bank's website.
- Banks may put additional holds on some deposits and expenses, which can cause a further delay.
What happens when you connect your bank for the first time?
When you connect to your bank for the first time, you should receive an initial download of transactions within 24 hours. Depending on the bank, this initial download of transactions could include 1 to 30 days' worth of transactions; however, the exact history is determined by the bank.
How long will it take for transactions to show up?
Your transactions will usually not be imported into EveryDollar until they are actually "posted" to your bank's website. Transactions that are "pending" do not come through from most banks because banks typically do not submit unfinished data. The time frame is usually 24-48 hours from the time the purchase has been "posted" to your bank's website before they show up in EveryDollar. Most banks will not post transactions over the weekend or on major holidays, so that may cause a further delay!
💡 Pro Tip: If you are seeing "Pending" transactions, it is likely that your bank is one of a select few that submits unfinished "Pending" data alongside "Posted" transactions. This may cause a duplication in EveryDollar.
