What's happening

Anthropic has launched a Personal Finance feature for its Claude AI that lets users connect bank and card accounts (via Plaid in at least one report) to ask questions like where their money went, duplicate charges, fees, and interest paid. The tool is read-only and cannot move money, and it is rolling out in beta to Pro, Max and Ultra subscribers according to one snippet. Anthropic is inviting financial services professionals and firms to help shape how the feature might work alongside banks.

Why it's trending

Because Claude now accesses transaction data (through Plaid in some reports) and Anthropic is actively soliciting banks and fintechs to collaborate, raising immediate questions about who explains customers' finances.
