FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- How often does CIB Bank Business sync to Actual Budget?
- Synci polls CIB Bank Business for new data every 30 to 360 minutes, depending on your plan. Some banks may not support high-frequency sync (30 min). When new transactions or balance changes are found, they are transferred to Actual Budget within seconds.
- Does CIB Bank Business support pending transactions?
- Yes — CIB Bank Business exposes pending transactions, and Synci syncs them to Actual Budget. When the bank eventually books them, Synci automatically updates the same transactions in Actual Budget rather than creating duplicates.
- Are CIB Bank Business credit card accounts supported?
- CIB Bank Business may not expose credit card accounts through PSD2. If yours does, you'll see them listed when you connect.
- Is my CIB Bank Business login shared with Synci?
- No. Synci connects to CIB Bank Business through regulated PSD2 APIs, which means authentication happens on CIB Bank Business's own login flow. Your bank login credentials are never shared with or stored by Synci.
- Which provider does Synci use to connect to CIB Bank Business?
- Synci currently connects to CIB Bank Business through GoCardless, a regulated PSD2 data provider. Providers handle the technical connection to the bank — your login credentials stay between you and CIB Bank Business.
