Anthropic launches Personal Finance in beta within Claude. Users can connect up to 16 U.S. banks through Plaid in a read-only manner. Claude can read balances, credit limits, and up to 24 months of transaction records, and Plaid does not expose bank passwords to Claude. This feature does not cover ordinary conversations outside the training data exemption; financial information users enter in ordinary chats is still handled under the regular privacy settings. Claude can read the balances of investment, loan, and credit card accounts, but cannot read holdings, transactions, interest rates, or terms, so it is only suitable for spending analysis and cannot be used for portfolio management.

Anthropic’s new Personal Finance beta connects bank accounts to Claude through Plaid with read-only access.
Claude’s Personal Finance hub reads balances, credit limits and up to 24 months of transactions from up to 16 linked US banks, but Plaid keeps bank passwords out of Claude’s view.
The training exclusion covers only conversations inside the hub, so financial details typed into regular chats follow the user’s normal privacy settings.
Claude reads balances on investment, loan and card accounts but not holdings, trades, rates or terms, which limits it to spending analysis rather than portfolio work.
