It’s Here: Capital One OAuth Support for Frustration-Free Tracking

Most personal finance tools that automatically import your transactions have long struggled with Capital One.

(For example, simply Google something like “capital one import fixed?”)

This used to be the case with Tiller. Most Tiller customers had to manually re-authenticate their Capital One credentials to import their recent transactions.

Now, however, Tiller supports open banking connections with Capital One.

This means you only need to log in with Capital One OAuth once every 90 days or so to keep your Tiller spreadsheets in sync with your daily Capital One transactions and balances.

Easier financial tracking, greater transparency, and enhanced security

Open banking and OAuth is an incredibly secure way to link your financial accounts to any automated personal finance service like Tiller.

That’s because with open banking, you never share any account credentials with Tiller. Capital One manages your accounts credentials and protects them with the same level of security used for your financial accounts.

And you remain in control of your financial data, with a transparent view of all your account connections.

“Open banking is a banking practice that provides third-party financial service providers open access to consumer banking, transaction, and other financial data from banks and non-bank financial institutions through the use of application programming interfaces (APIs).” – Open banking definition via Investopedia:

Now you can securely, easily, and reliably track all your Capital One accounts in your Tiller spreadsheets, along with all your other bank, credit, loan, and brokerage accounts.

Note that Tiller also supports open banking connections for Bank of America, Citi, Chase, Charles Schwab, and Wells Fargo – with many more to come!
