Bank Sync for Australia

1

Can you confirm if Good Budget Premium Bank Sync feature works with Australian banks? I’m in Australia, and my bank implemented the Australian Government’s “Open Banking” specification, so I know programmatic access is available on the bank side. What I’m not clear on is whether Good Budget and Plaid integrate with this.

Can you clarify? Thanks

Thanks for your post! Our Bank Sync features are only compatible with US-based banks right now.

Thanks Karisa, Just letting you know that I have created an account just to make this comment. I found your app this morning and it is exactly what I’ve been looking for, for years. I have been through your introductory videos and was just about to begin the courses when I realised that Plaid don’t do Australian banks. My 4 kids have recently reached adulthood (2 married) and I know that you would have had at least 3 new premium users inside a week if Plaid worked with Australian banks.

Thanks Karisa, It’s also worth noting that as a costumer of 10+ years from Canada I would love to have the bank sync feature. I would automatically switch to Premium if it was available.
Have a great day!

Thanks for your reply! Can you let us know which Canadian banks you’d like to link? We’re keeping track of requests internally in case we decide to implement a second financial aggregator for more institution coverage.

Hi @welldunn – Thanks for your reply! Can you let us know which Australian banks you’d like to link? I’ll add them to our internal tracker.

TD Bank, a.k.a TD Canada Trust
I know they have a division down in the U.S. so I am hoping that it would be easy for you to work with them in Canada as well.

@welldunn did you manage to get them to link to your bank? I would like them to add Commonwealth Bank of Australia

Another member from Australia that would upgrade to premium in an instant if you included Australian bank accounts. Pleaseeeeeeeeee! I actually nearly upgraded when it first came out, I was so excited and thankfully realised just in time that it was US banks only!

Thank you!

Hi Karisa, have been using the premium app for years and find it great. Bank Sync in Australia is a big limiting factor though and looking at moving to alternatives - Will upgrade to pro if bank sync can be provided in Australia which most competitors currently do. Particularly with NAB, Westpac and St George if you need some names! Thanks

@karisa Confirming bank sync for Australia is a must! I will upgrade to Premium ASAP once this is introduced.

Hi @Ken_Salomon That’s right – Goodbudget’s Bank Sync features are only compatible with US-based banks at this time. For now, I’ve added your banks to our track in case we’re able to add international coverage. Thanks!
