About the launch
Anthropic is rolling out Personal Finance in Claude, a US-only beta for subscribers on the Pro, Max, and Ultra plans. They can link bank, card, loan, and investment accounts and ask Claude about balances, spending, subscriptions, and bills drawn from those accounts. The feature is appearing gradually in the sidebar on the web, Claude Desktop, iOS, and Android, and is not offered on Free, Team, or Enterprise plans. The launch follows a similar finance feature OpenAI added to ChatGPT in May 2026, also through Plaid, and gives paid Claude users in the US a way to query their own accounts from the assistant they already use. Accounts connect through Plaid. The user signs in at the bank and chooses what to share, so Claude never sees the password, and only US banks are supported, up to 16 of them. For shared accounts, Claude can read the bank name, the account name, type, and last four digits, balances, credit limits, and up to 24 months of transactions, including amount, date, merchant, category, and the bank's own description. On investment, loan, and card accounts, Claude reads balances and credit limits, and does not read holdings, trades, rates, or terms. Claude cannot move, manage, or invest the money, and Anthropic says the feature is not designed to give investment advice. Questions can cover where the money went this month, whether that is higher than earlier months, what remains before payday, and whether a charge hit twice, a fee appeared, or a bill rose over the year. Claude can explain a term such as APR and total interest already charged, and it can build a weekly spending chart, a calendar of payments due, or a dashboard the user keeps editing. The hub carries no ads or sponsored recommendations, and Anthropic does not offer credit cards, loans, or savings accounts of its own through it. Chats inside the Personal Finance hub are not used to train models, and once linked accounts are used in a chat, Claude is designed not to save that chat to memory. Users can unlink a bank at any time, but figures already in a chat, artifact, or shared link stay until those are deleted, and Anthropic says important numbers should be checked with the bank because balances can lag and Claude can be wrong.
