Checked against Plaid's live catalog on July 30, 2026.
Does National Bank work with Plaid?
Yes. National Bank's Plaid connection was verified on July 30, 2026. It syncs the account types checked below:
National Bank uses Plaid's in-form flow — you sign in inside Plaid's widget, which never shares your credentials with Hunch.
| Account type | Syncs to Hunch |
|---|---|
| Transactions | Yes |
| Account balances | Yes |
| Credit card & loan balances | Yes |
| Investment transactions | No |
| Full holdings & securities | No |
How do I export transactions from National Bank?
Sign in to National Bank's online banking and look for a Statements, Export, or Download section — most banks let you download a CSV or PDF of recent transactions. Import that file into Hunch and it's categorized the same way as a live Plaid connection — your assistant can read it exactly the same way too.

National Bank of Canada formed in 1979 through the merger of Banque Canadienne Nationale and Provincial Bank of Canada, and remains headquartered in Montreal. It's Canada's sixth-largest bank, with especially deep roots in Quebec.
Ask your assistant about your National Bank accounts
Once National Bank is in Hunch, connecting an AI assistant is one extra step — add Hunch as a connector to any MCP-compatible assistant, and it can read balances, transactions, and spending trends. Still read-only, still revocable.

The connector is read-only by design — this doesn't change bank to bank.
IT CAN
- Read balances, transactions, and spending trends
- Answer questions about your budget, goals, and net worth
- See every account you've linked to Hunch, not just National Bank
- Be revoked in about a minute, any time
IT CAN'T
- Move money, pay bills, or start any transfer
- Change your National Bank settings or account details
- See your National Bank username, password, or PIN
- Act on your accounts without you asking it something first
How far back it can see
How much National Bank history your assistant can read depends on your Hunch plan, not on National Bank itself.

National Bank + Hunch, answered
Does my AI assistant ever see my National Bank password?
+
No. National Bank sign-in happens through Plaid — either a redirect to National Bank's own site or a form inside Plaid's widget — and Hunch only ever receives a read-only data token. Your assistant never sees a password, and neither does Hunch.
Can my AI assistant move money out of my National Bank account?
+
No. The Hunch connector is read-only. It can't initiate a transfer, pay a bill, or change anything in your National Bank account — the most it can do is describe what it sees.
How far back can it see my National Bank transactions?
+
That's set by your Hunch plan's history window, not by National Bank. Check the plans page for the exact number of months on each tier.
Does this work for National Bank credit cards too?
+
Yes — National Bank's Plaid connection includes credit card and loan balances alongside everyday transactions.
Does it see my National Bank investments?
+
Not from this specific National Bank connection — see the sync table above for exactly what's included today.
What if National Bank doesn't show up when I try to connect?
+
Search by the exact name shown on this page — some banks list several entries in Plaid for different products. If it still doesn't appear, import a CSV statement instead and let us know which bank you'd like added.
Does National Bank work with Plaid?
+
Yes — Hunch verified National Bank's Plaid connection on July 30, 2026. It currently syncs Transactions, Account balances, Credit card & loan balances.
How do I export transactions from National Bank?
+
Sign in to National Bank's online banking and look for a Statements, Export, or Download section — most banks let you download a CSV or PDF of recent transactions. Import that file into Hunch and it's categorized the same way as a live Plaid connection.
Can chat see my bank account?
+
Yes — once you connect a bank account to Hunch, any AI assistant you've added as a connector can read its balances and transactions. It can't see anything you haven't connected, and it can't move money.
Can I ask chat about my spending?
+
Yes — that's the main use case. Ask things like "what did I spend on groceries last month" or "am I over budget" and it reads live from Hunch.
Does this work with chat gpt?
+
Yes. ChatGPT is one of two assistants with a full walkthrough on this site — Claude is the other — but Hunch's connector is built on MCP, the open standard, so it works with any compatible assistant.
