Fine-Grained Data

The Details You Need

When we download transactions from a bank or brokerage, we pull the highest quality data. For example, for investment transactions we don’t just pull current holdings, we pull individual transactions, buys, sells, splits, etc so that your cost basis and ROI are accurate. And if you ever need to make a change, you can edit any transaction pulled down from Direct Access.

What is the difference between Cloud Sync and Direct Access?

House

Cloud Sync

Cloud Sync is a free service that lets you keep all of your financial data in sync across your devices.

Direct Access

Direct Access is a service that allows you to download transactions from over 14,000 different banks and allows you to pull home prices from Zillow.

Why do you charge for Direct Access?

Cost Transparency

Some of our competitors offer similar services for “free.” But what they fail to mention is that they sell your financial data to advertisers which then try to convince you to buy financial products like insurance, more credit cards and loans. This isn’t our business model. The backend of our Direct Access service is powered by Yodlee. In order for everyone to stay in business, Yodlee charges us and since we can’t just eat this cost, we sell this optional service to our customers.

Is Direct Access required?

House

Flexibility

Nope, you can import transactions using Direct Download* (aka Direct Connect or OFX), use the built-in web browser or enter transactions manually. However, Direct Access is certainly the most convenient way and often the most cost effective. *Many banks charge significantly more than the cost of Direct Access for integrated Direct Download connectivity.

More Money in Your Pocket

Our Direct Access fees are $44.99 per year, that’s about 12 cents a day. Direct Access can replace OFX/Direct Connect bank services and their fees which are usually are around $120.00 per year. Using our Direct Access service gives you an annual savings of $80.00 per year, per OFX bank!

How much does Direct Access cost?

Pennies a Day

Direct Access is just pennies a day. A year is $44.99, 90 days is $13.99 or 30 days for $5.99. All purchases can be made directly from within any app and one purchase works across all of your devices. Direct Access is not automatically renewed.
