Automated bank transaction import
Forward your bank's transaction alert emails to your personal forwarding address — even if your bank doesn't support YNAB's direct import. We extract the details, post the transaction to YNAB instantly, and permanently delete the email — nothing is stored.

How it works
No spreadsheets, no manual entry, no waiting for bank syncs.
Forward your bank's transaction alert emails to your personal forwarding address — the guided setup shows you how. If your bank sends email alerts, it works. No bank integration required.
Our service extracts the amount, merchant, account number, and currency from the email — then immediately and permanently deletes it. No email is ever retained.
The transaction is posted to the correct YNAB budget and account using your configured mappings — no manual entry, no delays.
Data flow
Only the emails you choose to forward ever reach our service — we never see your inbox.
Power features
Whether you have two accounts or twenty, across multiple banks, budgets, and currencies.
Map any number of bank accounts to their corresponding YNAB accounts. Each incoming email is automatically routed to the right place based on the identified account number.
Track spending across multiple YNAB budgets at once. Foreign-currency transactions are converted automatically, so your account balances stay accurate.
Configure custom memos, flag colors per account, default fallback mappings, and more. A guided onboarding wizard helps you set everything up in minutes.
Parsing modes
AI-assisted setup in minutes, or hand-configured rules that keep your emails away from AI entirely.
Opt in to AI-assisted parsing and get up and running in minutes. Our service uses an AI model on your first few emails to learn how to extract your transaction details — after that, it handles everything on its own with no AI involved.
Only your first few emails are read by the AI model — and like every email, they're permanently deleted right after processing.
Prefer to keep your financial emails out of AI systems entirely? Choose manual setup: we configure the extraction rules for your bank's email format by hand, and your email content never touches an AI model.
Email content stays outside of AI systems entirely.
Privacy first
We designed the system with a zero-retention principle: your data is processed in flight, never at rest. Here is what that means in practice.
Every email is permanently deleted from our system the moment the transaction data has been extracted. Nothing is archived or stored.
No amounts, merchants, dates, or any transaction details are ever persisted in our database. We are a conduit, not a vault.
Your YNAB OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest using RSA-OAEP256 keys stored in Azure Key Vault — the same standard used by financial institutions.
