Bank connections and your plan
How many banks each plan can connect, what counts as a bank, and what the limit messages mean.
Updated November 10, 2026
Your plan decides whether you can connect banks and how many. The Billing page shows current prices.
Limits by plan
| Plan | Banks you can connect |
|---|---|
| Manual | None. No bank sync. |
| Basic | Up to 5 |
| Advanced | Up to 15 |
| Premium | Up to 25 |
Messages in the app call Basic, Advanced and Premium "the Connect plans".
What counts as a bank
- A bank counts once, however many of its accounts you link.
- The same bank connected in several of your budget files counts once.
- A bank marked Disconnected does not count.
- A connection for which your bank has not yet shared any accounts does not count.
- Pausing an account does not free a slot.
Linked banks and Billing show your count as "2 of 5 banks connected". Manual does not show it.
Messages
| Message | Where | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| "Bank sync comes with the Connect plans." | Linked banks | Your plan has no bank sync. Connect a bank (or Connect a new bank) is unavailable, and the Connect a bank card is hidden on Accounts. |
| "You've connected 5 of 5 banks on your plan." | Linked banks | You reached the limit. Connect a new bank is unavailable. Select Manage plan to open Billing. |
| "Your plan syncs your first 5 banks; the rest are paused." | Linked banks | You have more banks than your plan allows. The banks you connected first keep syncing. The others don't sync until a slot is free. This is separate from pausing an account. |
| "Couldn't add those accounts" | Choose accounts to import | You connected from Accounts after reaching the limit. The message does not name the reason. Connect from Linked banks instead. |
| "Couldn't update 1 account" | Linked banks | You selected Sync on a bank that is over the limit or on a plan without bank sync. The message does not name the reason. |
| "You have 7 banks connected and this plan covers 5. Disconnect some first." | Billing | Shown on the card of a plan that covers fewer banks than you have connected. The card has a Go to Banks link. Its button reads Disconnect banks first and is unavailable until you have fewer banks. |
| "You have 2 banks connected, and this plan doesn't include bank sync. Disconnect them first." | Billing | The same, on the card of the Manual plan. |
Free a slot or add more
- Disconnect a bank. The slot is free once no budget file uses the bank.
- Choose a plan with a higher limit. See Change your plan.
Banks over the limit start syncing again as slots free up, oldest connection first. A bank you disconnect and then connect again takes a slot again.
