·2026.11.07 18:42
Key point
The feature uses Plaid to access balances and transactions on Pro, Max, and Ultra plans, allowing users to query spending without giving Claude control over funds.
Details
- Anthropic launched Personal Finance in Claude on November 5, enabling users to connect bank and card accounts via Plaid to answer money questions in plain language.
- The feature is available in beta this week on Pro, Max, and Ultra plans in the US, providing read-only access to balances and transactions without ads or sponsored recommendations.
- Claude can generate spending charts, payment calendars, and dashboards but cannot move, manage, or invest money, and it does not offer its own financial products.
- Users sign in to banks directly through Plaid so Claude never sees passwords, and conversations are not used for model training; accounts can be unlinked at any time to revoke data access.
- Anthropic advises users to verify important figures with their bank and ask for specific transactions behind any calculated numbers, as Claude can make mistakes.
