In addition, we keep expanding the connections on offer, so all your bank, retirement accounts and credit cards can be automatically updated with ease. To keep you abreast of what&#8217;s going on behind the scenes, we plan on make such bank connection news a regular fixture on our blog.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additions<\/strong><br>There&#8217;s about a 100 new ones in addition to more than 13 000 already on offer. Among them; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starlingbank.com\">Starling Bank<\/a> in the UK, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbvausa.com\/\">BBVA Compass<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/zero.app\">Zero<\/a> in the US. Our Brazilian customers will also be happy to learn that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bancointer.com.br\">Banco Inter<\/a> is back after a hiatus. The full list of added connections is available below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Upcoming (in testing)<\/strong><br>The often requested <strong>TransferWise<\/strong> and <strong>Monzo<\/strong> are in testing and will most likely be available in the coming weeks if all goes to plan. Additionally a lot of new connections in <strong>Slovenia<\/strong>, <strong>France<\/strong>, <strong>Spain<\/strong> and across the <strong>European Union<\/strong> are being worked on in preparation for the final entry into force of the new <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Payment_Services_Directive\">PSD2 directive<\/a>. This legislation mandates that all EU banks offer official automatic connections, which will mean more bank connection on offer in the future as well as quicker and more reliable existing connections. In the short term it also means a lot of developing and paperwork for our bank connection partners and us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ongoing issues<\/strong><br>While we try to keep things going as smoothly as possible we do sometimes encounter problems on some connections which we cannot immediately remedy. More often than not, this is due to banks blocking our bank connection partners and 3rd party apps like ours from connecting and ignoring efforts to resolve the issues with dialogue. This kind of often anticompetitive behaviour is one of the issues that the aforementioned PSD2 legislation is tackling in the EU. We&#8217;d be very happy to see the rest of the world follow suit in demanding official APIs from financial institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we cannot get into more details for each connection, at the time of writing we&#8217;re experiencing ongoing issues with Capital One (US), ABN AMRO (NL) and AMEX (US).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toshl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Toshl_2.0_monster_0058_59b.png?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5699\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toshl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Toshl_2.0_monster_0058_59b.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toshl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Toshl_2.0_monster_0058_59b.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toshl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Toshl_2.0_monster_0058_59b.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toshl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Toshl_2.0_monster_0058_59b.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toshl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Toshl_2.0_monster_0058_59b.png?resize=144%2C144&amp;ssl=1 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Bankers and Toshl can actually get together splendidly.
