Accounts can be connected through one of Alka’s integrations such as connection providers (Plaid, Yodlee, etc.), CSV import, Splitwise and many more.

1. Connecting new accounts

Press the 'Link new account’ button or search for the same command via the Omnibar (shortcut: ctrl/cmd + K).

1.1 via Providers

Select the most convenient provider depending on the type of account you want to connect and follow the connection flow:

• Plaid: US & Canadian accounts.
• Yodlee: Investments, international accounts and Venmo.
• Saltedge: European accounts and other international accounts.

<aside> 💡 It’s always good practice to search for an account in all providers if it’s not found in the recommended one above.

<aside> 💡 If a connection doesn’t work after multiple attempts, contact Alka’s support via the app or at [email protected].
