Force a sync, reconnect the account, and find where missing transactions went. A linked account that has stopped showing new transactions usually has one of a few causes: the connection needs re-authentication, the bank has not posted the transactions yet, or new transactions are sitting in To Review waiting for you. Work through these in order. ## 1. Force a sync Go to Settings, then Connections. Choose **Sync now** next to the institution. The toast reports how many transactions were added, updated, or removed. "Already up to date" means the bank has nothing new yet. ## 2. Check the connection status On the same page, look at the institution's badge: * **Reconnect required** or **Expiring soon** — the bank dropped or is about to drop the session. Choose **Reconnect**. See Reconnect a bank. * **Error** — the last sync failed. Reconnect, then sync again. If a reason is shown beneath the institution name, it usually points at the fix. ## 3. Look in To Review Synced transactions arrive **unapproved** in your To Review queue, not directly in the register's approved list. If a charge is "missing," check there first — it may have synced fine and simply be waiting for you to confirm it. ## 4. Give the bank time Budget Bandit can only show what the bank has released. A purchase made today may not appear until the bank posts it, which can take a day or two. Recent activity often arrives as a **pending** transaction first and firms up later. See Pending vs posted. ## 5. Confirm the account is mapped If one account at a linked institution updates but another does not, the quiet account may not have been mapped to the feed during linking. Re-run the link from **Connect a bank** and attach the missing account to its existing record. ## Still not syncing? * The bank works on its own website but not here: disconnect the institution and link it fresh from Connect a bank. Disconnecting preserves your accounts and existing transactions. * Transactions look doubled or some are missing: Duplicate or missing transactions. * Nothing here helps: bank sync troubleshooting or contact support. ## Related Restore an expired or broken connection.
