CSV EXPORT

How do I export transactions from PC Financial?

Sign in to PC Financial'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 PC Financial

A bit about PC Financial

President's Choice Financial's original bank accounts moved to CIBC's Simplii Financial brand in 2017, when Loblaw and CIBC ended their banking partnership. PC relaunched with the no-fee PC Money Account in 2020, issued directly by President's Choice Bank rather than through CIBC.

AI ACCESS

Ask your assistant about your PC Financial accounts

Once PC Financial 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 PC Financial 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 PC Financial
Be revoked in about a minute, any time

IT CAN'T

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

HISTORY WINDOW

How far back it can see

How much PC Financial history your assistant can read depends on your Hunch plan, not on PC Financial 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 PC Financial accounts.

FAQ

PC Financial + Hunch, answered

Does my AI assistant ever see my PC Financial password?

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

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

How far back can it see my PC Financial transactions?

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

Does this work for PC Financial credit cards too?

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

Does it see my PC Financial investments?

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

What if PC Financial 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 PC Financial work with Plaid?

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

How do I export transactions from PC Financial?

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.
