How To Connect Your Bank Account

Version scope: Instructions checked against the released app’s source code for MoneyCoach 14.0 on 2026-10-27; not tested in the app.

To connect a European bank account in MoneyCoach, open the bank linking flow, confirm the privacy information, choose your country, select your bank, and complete the bank's authentication flow. These steps describe the European GoCardless path.

Before you start: Online Banking availability depends on your country, bank, and MoneyCoach plan. Check the Online Banking page first to see the supported countries and availability details before starting the connection flow. If your bank is not supported, you can still use MoneyCoach as a budgeting app without a bank connection.

Important Details

MoneyCoach opens the bank authentication flow in a secure authentication session. Follow the bank's instructions and do not close MoneyCoach while the connection status screen is working.

After the bank approves the connection, MoneyCoach may need a little time to fetch the account data. The connection screen can show progress while account details become available.

The available transaction-history window depends on the provider. In the GoCardless flow, the completion screen shows the available history period when one is provided.

Online Banking requires an active MoneyCoach Premium plan and is available in selected regions.

Online Banking is available in selected European regions. If your country or bank is not available yet, check the Online Banking page and vote for your country.
