Connect Accounts with Moneydance+

Select your bank or credit card company, and you'll be directed to their website.

Then follow the prompts to log in (using your regular online banking credentials) and authorize access to your accounts.

You may need to grant third-party access for each account type individually.
e.g. If you have a credit card and a bank account with the same financial institution, they may require you to go through this process twice, as though they are two separate banks.
