When you connect a bank, we show the most common Canadian banks and cards, grouped so yours is easy to spot. Anything not in the list can still be searched for.
What's in the list
Group | For example |
|---|---|
Big banks | RBC, TD, Scotiabank, BMO, CIBC, National Bank |
Digital banks | Tangerine, Simplii Financial, EQ Bank, KOHO, Wealthsimple |
Credit cards & retail | American Express, MBNA, PC Financial, Rogers Bank |
Credit unions & more | Desjardins, Vancity, ATB Financial, Meridian |
To find one quickly, type in Search your bank or card. Search knows the names people actually use, such as Royal Bank, amex or PC Mastercard. Press Enter to pick the first match.
Not in the list?
Choose Search all institutions, next to the search box. It opens Flinks' own directory of institutions, where you can look for yours. If signing in fails there, we may offer Plaid as another way to try.
Marks on a bank
Before you pick, we check how each bank is connecting right now. A bank can carry a small mark:
Mark | What it means |
|---|---|
Amber dot | The bank is connecting slowly right now. Signing in may take longer than usual or stop partway. |
Red dot | The bank isn't connecting right now, so signing in will likely fail. |
No mark | The bank is connecting normally. |
You can still pick any bank. If there's a problem, we explain it first and let you choose: continue, try anyway, or upload statements instead.
Banks that connect through one service
Most banks can connect through either Plaid or Flinks, so if one has trouble when you first connect, we can offer the other. A few connect through one service only. Banks such as National Bank, EQ Bank, Neo Financial, PC Financial and MBNA go through Flinks, and Wealthsimple, American Express and Walmart go through Plaid.
For these banks, if signing in doesn't work, we suggest uploading statements rather than the other service.
National Bank connects directly: you sign in on National Bank's own page, so your username and password aren't shared with anyone else.
If your bank can't connect
Every bank can still come in through statements. Upload PDF or CSV statements from your online banking: we read every transaction, and nothing is added twice if you connect the bank later. Not sure where to get them? See Where do I find my statements?
You can also tell us which bank you'd like. On the Connect a bank screen, choose Bank missing or not working? Tell us, pick My bank isn't listed and send the report. It helps us see which banks need work.
