Connecting a bank (Plaid)

A bank transaction is missing or out of date

Use Sync Now, understand automatic syncing, and re-connect a bank when needed.

Updated 2026-06-14

Most of the time your linked transactions arrive on their own. If something is missing or looks stale, these steps usually sort it out.

  1. 1

    Tap Sync Now

    Open your linked bank and tap Sync Now to fetch the latest right away, rather than waiting for an automatic update.

  2. 2

    Give it a moment

    Banks sometimes post transactions a day or two late. A pending charge may appear once your bank finalizes it.

  3. 3

    Re-connect if asked

    Occasionally a bank requires you to confirm access again. If Vault asks you to reconnect, run through Plaid's secure screen once more.

How syncing works

Linked banks update automatically when your bank signals new activity, and you can always pull updates on demand with Sync Now.

Still missing something?

You can always add a transaction manually. Vault de-duplicates, so if the synced version arrives later it will not double up.
