[Claude Launches Personal Finance Feature, Connects to Bank Accounts via Plaid] Anthropic's Claude official account posted on the X platform that Claude has launched a Personal Finance feature, currently in beta in the US, gradually rolling out to Pro, Max, and Ultra subscribers. Users can connect to their chosen bank and credit card accounts via Plaid and ask questions about balances, expenses, and bills in everyday language. According to TechCrunch, this feature is read-only; funds cannot be transferred, managed, or invested. Claude can view up to two years of transaction history, and personal finance-related conversations will not be used for model training. Anthropic states that this feature contains no advertising or sponsored recommendations and is not intended to provide investment advice.
