[Claude Launches Personal Finance Feature with Bank Account Access] According to Jinse Finance, Anthropic announced the beta release of its AI assistant Claude's "Personal Finance" feature, allowing users to securely connect to their bank and credit card accounts and directly query account balances, transaction records, and spending status using natural language, without having to switch between multiple banking apps. This feature is currently available to Pro, Max, and Ultra subscribers in the US market, and uses a read-only design. Claude cannot initiate transfers, manage assets, or provide investment operations, positioning itself as a pure financial information query and analysis tool. Anthropic emphasizes that this feature does not embed advertisements or paid recommendations, nor does it sell users financial products such as credit cards, loans, or savings accounts, thus differentiating itself from existing fintech platforms.
