Connecting Your Bank Account

What it does

Blankitt Finance connects to your bank through UK Open Banking. Once authorised, transactions flow in automatically — no manual data entry or CSV imports.

You can connect multiple accounts from the same bank (e.g. business current + savings + credit card), and accounts from different banks. Each appears as a separate feed.

How to connect

1. Go to Bank Feeds in the sidebar.
2. Click Connect Bank Account.
3. Select your bank from the provider list.
4. Log in on your bank's website and authorise access.
5. Choose which accounts to connect (current, savings, credit card).
6. Confirm — transactions begin importing immediately.

Tips

• Open Banking consent normally lasts 90 days, but Blankitt's re-consent cron renews it automatically in the background before it lapses. You typically don't need to take action; if the automatic renewal can't reach your bank (rare), the Dashboard flags it and you re-authorise in two clicks.
• Up to 12 months of history is imported on first connection (varies by bank).
• Connection credentials are encrypted at rest. Blankitt staff can't see them; we exchange them with your bank via the Open Banking API.
• Disconnecting an account does not delete previously imported transactions.
• If a connection fails, check that your bank supports Open Banking and online banking is enabled.
