What you need

Make sure you have these three things ready. The whole setup takes about 10 minutes.

1. A Claude or ChatGPT account

You need a paid plan to use connectors and MCP servers. For Claude: Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise. For ChatGPT: Plus or Team.

The free plan on either platform does not support third-party connectors.

2. A mybanx.io account

Create a free account at mybanx.io. No credit card required to register. The AI MCP Connector is 150 EUR/year — billed only after your free trial.

You can explore and connect your bank before any payment is due.

3. Your online banking credentials

You will need to log into your bank's website once to authorize the read-only connection. mybanx supports 2,000+ European banks across 24 countries.

ING, BNP, KBC, Belfius, Revolut, N26, Santander, Deutsche Bank and many more.

10 minutes.
Done forever.

Follow these steps in order. Each one takes only a few minutes and you only ever do it once.

1

Create your free mybanx account

Go to mybanx.io and click Create an account.

  • Enter your email address and choose a password
  • Confirm your email address via the link sent to you
  • Verify your mobile phone number

No credit card required. The whole registration takes under 2 minutes.

Tip

Use your company email so team members can be invited later if needed.

2

Create your company profile

Once logged in, click Add a Company in the dashboard.

  • Enter your company name and basic details
  • This organises your bank accounts per legal entity
  • You can add multiple companies if you manage several entities — Claude will be able to query all of them

This step takes about 1 minute.

3

Connect your bank account

Go to Bank Accounts and click Add an account.

  • Search for your bank (e.g. ING, BNP, KBC, Revolut, N26…)
  • You will be redirected to your bank's official secure login page — this is standard PSD2 Open Banking, the same technology your bank uses
  • Log in with your usual online banking credentials and authorize read-only access
  • Repeat for each bank account you want your AI to access
🔒 Security note

mybanx can never initiate payments or transfers. The access is strictly read-only. Your bank credentials are never stored by mybanx — only a secure OAuth token is kept.

What you can ask Claude or ChatGPT
once connected

Ask in plain English, French, Dutch — any language. Here are real examples of what SME CEOs ask every day.

Cash & Balances
CEO

AI
You have 3 connected accounts with a combined balance of €142,380.
ING — €98,200 BNP — €31,180 Revolut — €13,000
Revenue & Clients

CEO
At my current burn rate, how long can I cover operating expenses?
AI
Based on your average monthly expenses of €24,400 and current cash of €142,380, you have approximately 5.8 months of runway. Your revenue trend suggests this may extend to 7–8 months if Q4 growth continues.
More questions you can ask
"Which clients haven't paid in the last 60 days?"
"Compare my revenue this quarter vs same period last year"
"Generate a monthly financial summary for my accountant"
"Find any unusual transactions above €5,000"
"What is my revenue growth rate over the last 6 months?"
"Create an income statement for Q3 2025"
Your data is safe

Is it safe to connect an AI
to my bank accounts?

Security is a natural concern. Here is what you need to know.

🔒

Read-only access

Claude and mybanx can only read your transaction history and balances. It is technically impossible to initiate payments or transfers through this connection — it's a structural limitation of the API, not just a policy.

🇪🇺

EU-regulated under PSD2

mybanx.io is regulated by the National Bank of Belgium under PSD2 — the same legal framework that governs all European banks and payment services. Not a startup workaround; a regulated financial service.

🔑

Your credentials stay yours

Your bank login details are never shared with mybanx or Claude. The connection uses OAuth tokens — the same secure standard used by millions of apps worldwide including Google, LinkedIn, and your bank's own mobile app.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

mybanx.io: Free to create an account and connect your bank. The AI MCP Connector is 150 EUR/year, billed after your free trial.

Claude: A paid plan is required (Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise) to use connectors. See current pricing at claude.ai/pricing.

ChatGPT: A Plus or Team plan is required for MCP connector access.

No. The connection is strictly read-only. Claude and ChatGPT can see your transaction data and balances but cannot initiate payments, transfers, or any write operations in any way. This is a hard technical limitation of the API, not just a setting.

You can connect multiple companies and multiple bank accounts inside mybanx. Claude or ChatGPT will have access to all of them and can answer questions that span across all your entities — for example: "What is my total cash position across all my companies?"

Any language Claude or ChatGPT understands — English, French, Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and more. Just ask in the language you are most comfortable with.
