Transactions
You may occasionally notice that a user appears to be missing transactions or that some aspect of the transactions
data is incorrect. These issues sometimes occur on a one-off basis for users. If you observe ten or more access_token
s with missing data over a 48-hour period for a given institution, see our guide.
Missing transactions
If a user is missing transactions in a given date range, please follow these steps:
- Wait 48 hours, and attempt a
/transactions/get
request for the date range in which transactions are missing. It is possible that the institution is delayed in processing the transaction. - If the transactions are still missing, file a case in the Dashboard under Missing data issues > Missing transaction data, and include the following information:
- A general description of the problem
- The date, amount, and/or merchant name of one or more of the missing transactions
This data will help our Support team investigate as quickly as possible and enable us to confirm if we have fixed the issue.
Example:
Subject: Lucky Dog Bank Token Missing November Transactions An access_token for Lucky Dog Bank is missing transactions from 11/1/16 onward. The most recent transaction was a purchase on 11/20/16, from Amazon, for $120.25

Accounts
You may occasionally notice that a user appears to be missing an account, or that some aspect of the accounts
data is incorrect. These issues sometimes occur on a one-off basis for users—if you are observing ten or more accounts with missing data over a 48-hour period for a given institution, see our widespread institution issues page. Because these issues are generally specific to an institution, please submit cases on behalf of one institution at a time. This will enable us to work through them as quickly as possible!
Missing accounts
If one or more accounts are not being returned, please follow these steps:
- Verify that the user has not closed the account.
- Check to see if a replacement

would no longer be returned. - If the account has not been closed or replaced, please file a case in the Dashboard under Missing data issues > Missing account data, and include the following information:
- A general description of the problem and how many
access_token
