Bring-your-own bank sync requires a Zerosum Plus or Pro plan, including the Pro trial. SimpleFIN access requires a Redbark Developer or Professional plan, including trials.
Setup
1
Connect your banks to Redbark
Add the bank connections you want to use in Redbark. Zerosum can access banking accounts, but not brokerage accounts.
2
Generate a SimpleFIN setup token
In Redbark, open Settings > API & MCP. Generate a SimpleFIN setup token and name it after Zerosum.Copy the token when it appears. It is shown once, can be claimed once, and expires in 7 days if unused.
3
Connect SimpleFIN in Zerosum
In Zerosum, open Bank Sync, choose Connect SimpleFIN, and paste the Redbark setup token. Zerosum claims the token and stores the resulting read-only credential encrypted at rest.
4
Link your accounts
Link each imported bank account to a new or existing Zerosum account. Connecting the provider does not add every account to your budget automatically.
How it behaves
- Zerosum requests current balances and transactions from Redbark on its own sync schedule.
- Imported transactions use Zerosum’s normal review, matching, and duplicate-prevention flow. Approved or reconciled transactions are not silently overwritten.
- Adding another bank in Redbark does not add it to your budget automatically. Use Refresh accounts in Zerosum, then link the account you want.
- Redbark Developer is 30% off while the Zerosum connection remains active. Redbark removes the partner discount after 30 days without an authenticated Zerosum sync.
