FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How often does Lunar sync to YNAB?
Synci polls Lunar 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 YNAB within seconds.
Does Lunar support pending transactions?
Lunar may not expose pending transactions through PSD2. Booked transactions are always supported, and are typically available within a day of being processed by the bank.
Are Lunar credit card accounts supported?
Lunar may not expose credit card accounts through PSD2. If yours does, you'll see them listed when you connect.
Is my Lunar login shared with Synci?
No. Synci connects to Lunar through regulated PSD2 APIs, which means authentication happens on Lunar's own login flow. Your bank login credentials are never shared with or stored by Synci.
Which provider does Synci use to connect to Lunar?
Synci currently connects to Lunar through GoCardless, a regulated PSD2 data provider. Providers handle the technical connection to the bank — your login credentials stay between you and Lunar.
