Why We Don't Connect to Your Bank
Automated bank aggregation sounds convenient, but in practice, it creates more friction than it solves.
The Flaws of Automated Bank Sync
- Frequent Auth Breakage: Multi-factor authentication disconnects every few days.
- Security Liability: Sharing online banking credentials with aggregators exposes account access.
- Passive Ignorance: Automatic syncing means you rarely look at what you spend.
The Power of Intentional Entry
Entering a transaction manually takes 3 seconds. That tiny action creates awareness. When you log spending yourself, you make conscious financial choices before money leaves your wallet.
