Anthropic adds bank account access to Claude so users can track their spending

Anthropic launched a beta feature called Personal Finance that gives Claude read-only access to users' bank accounts via Plaid, letting them break down spending by category, check upcoming payments, or ask questions like "Am I spending more than I earn?" It cannot move, manage, or invest funds, and Claude never sees bank passwords. The feature is available in the US for Pro, Max, and Ultra subscribers, with conversations excluded from model training, no ads or sponsored recommendations, and the ability to disconnect at any time.
