Ask a question with a clear scope
Show the recurring bills on my shared SpareBank 1 SMN accounts this month. List the payment dates and the individual transactions so I can verify them.
What ChatGPT can read
The permitted Sparebank 1 SMN accounts, their synced balances, and available transactions in a requested date range. It cannot initiate payments, change an account, or see accounts outside your grant. Bank-data access does not imply that the bank exposes its entire product portfolio.
Synci omits sensitive account identifiers from assistant-facing responses. You can revoke assistant access in Synci. The assistant service receives the financial records it reads, so review the accounts you share.
Refresh behavior and history limits
ChatGPT reads data already synced to Synci. Your Synci plan, connection settings, and Sparebank 1 SMN’s own request limits determine how fresh it is; asking another question does not force a live bank refresh.
Use the initial-history limit above to choose meaningful analysis periods. An assistant cannot recover history the bank has not supplied. Ask it to show the timestamps, date range, and individual transactions behind a total.
Questions and answers
- Does choosing SpareBank 1 SMN connect every SpareBank 1 bank?

- Is my Sparebank 1 SMN login shared with ChatGPT?
- No. Complete the bank authorization outside the chat, then authorize the assistant through Synci. ChatGPT reads the permitted data from Synci and does not receive your bank login.
