OpenAI Launches Personal Finance Tools in ChatGPT with Bank Account Integration

OpenAI launched a new set of personal finance tools in ChatGPT on May 15, 2026, available in preview for Pro subscribers in the United States. The feature is powered by a partnership with financial data platform Plaid, giving users access to more than 12,000 financial institutions including Schwab, Fidelity, Chase, Robinhood, American Express, and Capital One.

What It Does

Financial dashboard: A unified view of portfolio performance, spending, subscriptions, and upcoming payments

AI analysis: Ask natural language questions about your balances, transactions, investments, and liabilities -- powered by GPT-5.5's improved contextual reasoning

Read-only security: ChatGPT can view financial data but cannot see full account numbers or make any changes to accounts

Context

The product follows OpenAI's April acquisition of the team behind personal finance startup Hiro, backed by Ribbit, General Catalyst, and Restive. GPT-5.5's stronger financial reasoning capabilities make it well-suited for interpreting personal finance context.

The tools are available on ChatGPT web and iOS for Pro users. OpenAI plans to expand access to Plus users after incorporating early feedback. Full details at OpenAI's announcement.
