GoKawiilAnthropic is testing a new personal finance feature called "Claude Money" that will allow you to connect your bank accounts directly to Claude and "understand your money."
AI companies coming after your finances is not a new thing, as OpenAI has a similar feature, and Anthropic appears to be catching up.
As spotted by TestingCatalog on X, Anthropic is testing the feature for the Claude app on iOS, where a new Money section has appeared alongside Chats, Code, Artifacts, Dispatch, and Cowork.
"Understand your money with Claude," the page reads. "Link your bank accounts and ask Claude about spending, plans, and more."
There's also a "Get started" button for connecting an account, although the feature does not appear to be rolling out to most users.
It's worth noting that Claude Money references showed up in the app ahead of the expected announcement, which is why details around it are quite limited.
We don't yet know which banks it will support, how accounts will be connected, or if the feature will be locked to the United States (or certain states in the country).
