FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- How often does OK-Q8 Bank sync to Actual Budget?
- Synci polls OK-Q8 Bank 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 OK-Q8 Bank support pending transactions?
- Yes — OK-Q8 Bank 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 OK-Q8 Bank credit card accounts supported?
- OK-Q8 Bank may not expose credit card accounts through PSD2. If yours does, you'll see them listed when you connect.
- Is my OK-Q8 Bank login shared with Synci?
- No. Synci connects to OK-Q8 Bank through regulated PSD2 APIs, which means authentication happens on OK-Q8 Bank's own login flow. Your bank login credentials are never shared with or stored by Synci.
- Which provider does Synci use to connect to OK-Q8 Bank?
- Synci currently connects to OK-Q8 Bank through GoCardless, a regulated PSD2 data provider. Providers handle the technical connection to the bank — your login credentials stay between you and OK-Q8 Bank.
