Connecting bank accounts is a feature only available with EveryDollar Premium. Follow the steps below to connect your bank accounts on the computer version of EveryDollar at everydollar.com:
- Sign in at everydollar.com.
- Click the Accounts icon in the upper right corner.
- Search for your bank by bank name or website (i.e. First Bank OR firstbank.com). If you already have another bank account added, click “+ Add Account” to search for a different bank.
- You'll be prompted to "Share using Finicity." Finicity is the third-party provider we use to facilitate the connection between your bank and EveryDollar. This helps to ensure we maintain the privacy and security of your bank accounts. Click "Next."
- Manually enter the same login information you normally use to sign in to your bank's website (don't use an auto-fill). Be sure to answer any security prompts (i.e. one-time passcode, security question) correctly.
- Click “Connect.”
NOTE: When you log in, you’ll see a list of all of the accounts you have open at this bank (checking, savings, money market account, credit cards, etc.). If you don't want EveryDollar to connect to one or more of the accounts, click the down arrow beside the account you wish to remove for more options. Some larger banks require that all accounts remain connected in order to sync transactions. For these banks, you can instead choose to unsync the accounts instead of removing them.
*Connected bank accounts do not currently have the ability to be linked directly to a Goal, Fund, debt, or budget item.
