Best practices for initial sync and ongoing updates to keep data fresh.

Step 1: Prepare Your Accounts and Log In to MoneyRoo

Before diving in, gather your login credentials for the accounts you want to link—think checking, credit cards, or even investment apps. Ensure you have the MoneyRoo app installed on your phone or access via web at moneyroo.com.

Open the app and log in with your email and password. If you're new, sign up quickly with a few basic details like your name and financial goals.
Navigate to the main dashboard by tapping the home icon. Look for the "Accounts" tab in the bottom navigation bar—it's your hub for all things linking.
Pro tip: Enable two-factor authentication in MoneyRoo settings for extra security before proceeding.

This setup takes under 2 minutes and ensures a smooth process ahead.

Step 2: Access the Add Account Feature

Once logged in, it's time to start building your financial overview. MoneyRoo uses secure, bank-level encryption (like Plaid integration) to connect without sharing passwords directly.

From the Accounts tab, tap the "+" icon or "Add Account" button, usually at the top right.
You'll see options for account types: select "Bank," "Credit Card," "Savings," "Cash," or "Investment" based on what you're linking.
Review the permissions screen—MoneyRoo only reads transaction data, never writes or transfers funds on your behalf.

If you have multiple institutions (e.g., Chase for banking and Amex for cards), note them down to streamline selections.

Step 3: Search and Select Your Financial Institution

MoneyRoo supports thousands of banks and cards worldwide, making this step intuitive.

In the search bar, type the name of your bank or card issuer (e.g., "Wells Fargo" or "Visa").
Choose from the dropdown results—MoneyRoo auto-suggests popular ones for speed.
If your institution isn't listed, use the manual entry option for custom accounts like cash envelopes.

Important: Double-check the institution logo and details to avoid errors. This connection is read-only, so your funds stay safe.

Step 4: Authorize the Secure Connection

This is where the magic happens—MoneyRoo establishes a encrypted link without storing your login info.

Enter your online banking username and password when prompted, or use biometric login if supported by your bank.
Follow any on-screen verifications, like a one-time code sent to your phone.
For cards or non-bank accounts, you might upload a recent statement PDF for AI-assisted setup.

The process typically completes in 30-60 seconds. If issues arise (rare), MoneyRoo's help center offers troubleshooting with screenshots.

Step 5: Sync Data and Verify Transactions

With the link active, pull in your history to populate your dashboard.

Tap "Sync Now" to import the last 90 days of transactions automatically—MoneyRoo categorizes them using AI for instant insights.
Review the imported data in the Accounts overview: check balances, recent expenses, and any duplicates.
Set up recurring syncs in settings (daily or weekly) to keep everything updated without effort.

Customize here: Assign categories or rules for future transactions, like tagging coffee runs as "Dining Out" to align with your budget.

Next Steps: Customize and Monitor Your Dashboard

After syncing, explore the dashboard for spending charts and goal trackers. Connect more accounts anytime via the same process, and use MoneyRoo's AI to scan receipts for unmatched transactions. If you notice sync delays, refresh manually or contact support—they respond within hours.
