Checked against Plaid's live catalog on July 30, 2026.
Does Discover work with Plaid?
Yes. Discover's Plaid connection was verified on July 30, 2026. It syncs the account types checked below:
Discover uses Plaid's redirect flow — you sign in on Discover's own site, not inside Hunch or Plaid.
| 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 Discover?
Sign in to Discover'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.
How CSV import works →A bit about Discover
Discover launched in 1985 as a Sears credit card before becoming an independent bank. Capital One completed its acquisition of Discover in May 2025, but Discover-branded checking, savings, and card accounts still connect to Hunch as their own Plaid institution.
Ask your assistant about your Discover accounts
Once Discover 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 Discover
- Be revoked in about a minute, any time
IT CAN'T
- Move money, pay bills, or start any transfer
- Change your Discover settings or account details
- See your Discover username, password, or PIN
- Act on your accounts without you asking it something first
How far back it can see
How much Discover history your assistant can read depends on your Hunch plan, not on Discover itself.

Discover + Hunch, answered
Does my AI assistant ever see my Discover password?
+
No. Discover sign-in happens through Plaid — either a redirect to Discover'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 Discover account?
+
No. The Hunch connector is read-only. It can't initiate a transfer, pay a bill, or change anything in your Discover account — the most it can do is describe what it sees.
How far back can it see my Discover transactions?
+
That's set by your Hunch plan's history window, not by Discover. Check the plans page for the exact number of months on each tier.
Does this work for Discover credit cards too?
+
Yes — Discover's Plaid connection includes credit card and loan balances alongside everyday transactions.
Does it see my Discover investments?
+
Not from this specific Discover connection — see the sync table above for exactly what's included today.
What if Discover 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 Discover work with Plaid?
+

How do I export transactions from Discover?
+
Sign in to Discover'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.
