Indie-built with responsive support
Built and maintained by an independent developer who uses it daily. Questions and issues get personal attention — no ticket queues or chatbots.

Your security is the foundation

Connecting your bank account is a big step. Here's how BudgetSyncer keeps your data safe and gives you full control.

PSD2-regulated via GoCardless

Bank connections are handled by GoCardless Open Banking, a PSD2-regulated provider authorised by the FCA. BudgetSyncer never touches your bank credentials directly.

No bank passwords stored

BudgetSyncer never asks for or stores your bank login credentials. Authentication happens directly with your bank through secure open banking APIs.

Revoke access anytime

You can disconnect your bank at any time from within BudgetSyncer or directly through your bank. No lock-in, no questions asked.

Your data stays between you and YNAB

BudgetSyncer accesses transaction amounts, dates, descriptions, and account balances — solely to sync them to YNAB. No data is shared with third parties beyond YNAB.

Indie-built by Tommi

BudgetSyncer is independently built and operated by Tommi — a professional Finnish developer and YNAB user. No venture capital, no data monetisation, just a tool built to solve a real problem.

Read-only bank access

BudgetSyncer can only read your transactions and balances. It cannot move money, make payments, or modify anything in your bank account.
