How to Use Claude Personal Finance: Setup, Prompts and What It Can See
By Google News Personal Finance ·
Anthropic announced Personal Finance in Claude on 5 November 2026. Claude Personal Finance connects your bank, card, loan and investment accounts through Plaid, reads up to 24 months of transactions, and answers questions about your money in plain language. Access is read-only. It is a beta on the Pro, Max and Ultra plans in the US only, rolling out gradually from that week.
This guide covers both ways to use Claude for personal finance. The first is the new feature: how to switch it on, on a Mac and on an iPhone, what Claude can and cannot see, and the prompts worth asking. The second is the route for everyone the beta leaves out, including Free users and anyone outside the US, which works from a bank export instead of a live connection.
Along the way we flag the privacy details buried in Anthropic's help article, and we compare Claude with ChatGPT's own Finances feature.
