Why Sync Bank Data to Google Sheets?
Google Sheets is the most flexible tool for managing your finances. When you sync bank transactions to Sheets, you can:

- Analyze spending patterns with pivot tables and charts
- Share financial reports with your accountant or partner
- Automate bookkeeping by categorizing transactions automatically
- Track cash flow across multiple accounts in one dashboard
SheetLink vs. Manual CSV Exports
Most people sync bank data to Google Sheets by downloading CSV files from their bank and manually importing them. This works, but it's tedious and error-prone.
SheetLink automates the entire process:
| Manual CSV | SheetLink |
|---|---|
| Log into bank website | One-click sync from Chrome |
| Download CSV file | Direct API connection |
| Open Sheets, import CSV | Auto-writes to your Sheet |
| Repeat weekly | Auto-sync (paid tiers) |
