Checked against Plaid's live catalog on July 30, 2026.

PLAID CONNECTION

Does Wealthsimple work with Plaid?

Yes. Wealthsimple's Plaid connection was verified on July 30, 2026. It syncs the account types checked below:

Wealthsimple uses Plaid's in-form flow — you sign in inside Plaid's widget, which never shares your credentials with Hunch.

Verified against Wealthsimple's live Plaid connection: investment transactions sync, but full holdings and security-level detail don't come through yet.

CSV EXPORT

How do I export transactions from Wealthsimple?

Sign in to Wealthsimple'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.

ABOUT Wealthsimple

A bit about Wealthsimple

Wealthsimple launched in Toronto in 2014 as a robo-advisor and has since added commission-free trading, crypto, and a hybrid spending and savings account, renamed Wealthsimple Chequing in 2025. Plaid syncs its transactions and balances, but not detailed holdings — see the note below.

AI ACCESS

Ask your assistant about your Wealthsimple accounts

Once Wealthsimple 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.

LIMITS

What your assistant can't do with your Wealthsimple accounts

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 Wealthsimple
Be revoked in about a minute, any time

IT CAN'T

Move money, pay bills, or start any transfer
Change your Wealthsimple settings or account details
See your Wealthsimple username, password, or PIN
Act on your accounts without you asking it something first

HISTORY WINDOW

How far back it can see

How much Wealthsimple history your assistant can read depends on your Hunch plan, not on Wealthsimple itself.

HOUSEHOLDS

Sharing a household?

If you and a partner both link accounts to Hunch, you choose whether your assistant sees combined household data or just your own Wealthsimple accounts.

FAQ

Wealthsimple + Hunch, answered

Does my AI assistant ever see my Wealthsimple password?

No. Wealthsimple sign-in happens through Plaid — either a redirect to Wealthsimple'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 Wealthsimple account?

No. The Hunch connector is read-only. It can't initiate a transfer, pay a bill, or change anything in your Wealthsimple account — the most it can do is describe what it sees.

How far back can it see my Wealthsimple transactions?

That's set by your Hunch plan's history window, not by Wealthsimple. Check the plans page for the exact number of months on each tier.

Does this work for Wealthsimple credit cards too?

Not from this specific Wealthsimple connection — see the sync table above for exactly what's included today.

Does it see my Wealthsimple investments?

Partially — investment transactions sync from Wealthsimple, but detailed holdings and security-level data don't come through yet.

What if Wealthsimple 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 Wealthsimple work with Plaid?

Yes — Hunch verified Wealthsimple's Plaid connection on July 30, 2026. It currently syncs Transactions, Account balances, Investment transactions.

How do I export transactions from Wealthsimple?

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.
