How bank sync works

Rentastic connects to your bank through Plaid — the same infrastructure used by Venmo, American Express, and thousands of other apps. Once linked, new transactions appear in Rentastic daily, already sorted by property and ready to categorize. Your first import also pulls in up to 24 months of transaction history, so you can get fully up to date from day one.

Supported banks and accounts

Rentastic works with 12,000+ financial institutions — national banks, regional banks, credit unions, and credit cards. If you bank somewhere, it almost certainly works. You can connect checking accounts, savings accounts, and credit cards all in one place.

Free accounts can link up to 2 bank accounts. The Unlimited plan removes that cap so you can connect every account across your entire portfolio.

Bank-level security through Plaid

Your username and password are never sent to Rentastic or stored in our systems. All bank credentials go directly to Plaid, which handles the secure connection on your behalf. Rentastic only receives your transaction data — not your login details.

What gets imported

Every transaction that clears your linked accounts appears in Rentastic: rent payments, repair costs, insurance premiums, mortgage payments, utility bills, and more. From there, Rentastic's AI auto-classify engine (Unlimited plan) suggests the right IRS-aligned category — you review and confirm.

Manual entry is always available

Prefer to stay off bank sync, or need to log a cash payment? You can add transactions manually at any time. Bank sync is recommended but never required.

Common questions

Does linking a bank account cost extra?

No. Linking your bank is completely free on every plan. Even free-tier users can connect up to 2 accounts at no additional charge.

What if my bank isn't listed?

Most institutions are supported. If yours isn't, you can import transactions via CSV from your bank's website — Rentastic maps the columns automatically.

How often does Rentastic sync?

Transactions update daily. Most activity from the previous business day appears in Rentastic the following morning.
