How soon do I see new expenses from my bank account or credit card?

How long does it take for new expenses to be pulled from my connected account and why don't I see them yet?

Updated over a week ago

Transactions are pulled as they are posted to the issuing institution.

Dependent on the merchant acquirer, processor, gateway and issuer, the time from when a transaction occurs to when it is posted can take from a few minutes to a few days. The date listed in transaction will be as close to the original transaction date as possible.

If you would like to try manually syncing your account to fetch the updated data you can always attempt to do so by:

  • Visiting your Expense accounts page

  • Clicking on the options dropdown for your account (•••)

  • Clicking "Sync Expenses" in the dropdown


Also, keep in mind that you can use Bonsai to calculate your self-employment tax deductions by importing your expenses.
