USER GUIDE > ACCOUNTS
When you link your accounts to Money Patrol, the app will generate a personalized dashboard for you and begin delivering you alerts and insights via text, email, or your dashboard. Money Patrol have partnered with multiple account aggregators to provide a comprehensive coverage for connecting to thousands of financial institutions. We recommend that you try Plaid as the first connector and Finicity as the second connector to link your accounts. If neither of these options work, then we recommend that you use the Sherpa or Yodlee connector to link your accounts.
NOTE: For newly linked accounts, it may take a few hours to complete the transaction data pulls, due to which balances and other data points may be delayed.
