Mint (Associated Press)Claude can now connect to your bank and card accounts through Plaid to explain your spending, in a US beta
TechCrunch· 5 NovTechCrunch reports that Anthropic has launched Personal Finance in Claude. Users connect bank and credit card accounts through Plaid and ask questions such as where their money went this month. Anthropic says access is read-only, so it cannot move, manage or invest money. It can flag duplicate charges, unexpected fees and rising bills, and it is rolling out in beta this week to Pro, Max and Ultra plans in the US.
- If you are in the US and tempted, start with one account and read what Claude says it can see before linking more.
- Check your own statements for duplicate charges and creeping bills first. You can do that for free, and it shows you what you want the tool to answer.
