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