Connecting Your Account with Mint Aggregation Services

No action is needed to update the connection between your digital banking account and Mint.com. The system conversion for all activated accounts will take place on the Mint.com server automatically.

Unfortunately, because of the way Mint.com stores its data, aggregation services may be interrupted for up to five business days after December 7, 2020. Because of this, we ask that you do not log in to your Mint.com account during this time to allow for a successful account update. Logging in during this window may cause errors such as recording duplicate transactions or accounts.

After this time, the accounts should reconcile and show your available transaction history. If your accounts do not display your current transactions after five business days, you may need to log back into Mint.com and click Refresh to update your account.
