Connecting your bank
Where a bank supports it, CORA connects to it directly and your transactions arrive on their own — nothing to download, nothing to upload. US and Canadian accounts go through Plaid, European accounts through Ponto; both are licensed providers, and you sign in at your own bank, so CORA never sees your login. Mercury and Wise connect straight to CORA. You give the permission yourself, you see exactly which accounts are shared, and you can withdraw it whenever you like — in CORA or at your bank.
Ponto may charge for their connection. That is a contract between you and Ponto, outside CORA — you pay them directly and it is not part of your CORA subscription.
