Over the past few months, we have been diligently working on a brand-new version of Synci. This update not only addresses previous challenges, but also introduces powerful new features and integrations. Synci 2.0 is a complete overhaul of both the backend and frontend, allowing us to leverage our learnings from the past few years while eliminating technical debt. The result is a purpose-built, all-in-one integration platform for consumer banking data.

What’s coming?

While many aspects of Synci will change for the better, we are committed to retaining the core features that our users already enjoy. Given the comprehensive nature of this update, I’m not going to list every change, but here’s a sneak peek of what's coming:

• Full-Fledged API: You will have the option to interact with Synci exclusively through our robust new APIs, if you choose.

• New, User-Friendly UI: Experience an improved, intuitive interface designed with ease of use in mind.

• Automation Rules: Automatically manage and manipulate bank transaction data with our new Rules feature. This powerful tool enhances workflow efficiency and data quality, setting the stage for specialized integrations with individual banks.

  • Example Automation: “If transaction remittance information contains X and the amount exceeds 1 000, set YNAB payee to Y, divide the amount by 100, and send me an email with the transaction details”. I don’t know why anyone would need this, but it serves to demonstrate the possibilities.

• New Integrations: We are expanding our integration offerings with:

  • Lunch Money

  • Google Sheets

  • MS Excel

  • Zapier

  • And more! We will gradually introduce these new integrations throughout the year.

• High Flexibility: Seamlessly integrate your bank accounts with multiple destinations (YNAB, Google Sheets, etc.) using a single bank connection. Less money for us, but hopefully more happy customers.

When is it coming?

We are approximately 60% through the development process. While we’re not ready to provide an exact release date, we aim to launch within the next few months. The rollout will be gradual to ensure a smooth transition and address any potential issues before migrating all users to the new version.

If you’re interested in being among the first to try Synci 2.0, please reach out to us here or through our usual support channels. Additionally, if there are features you feel Synci is missing, now is the perfect time to share your thoughts.

Thank you to all our amazing customers, and a belated Happy New Year! We look forward to supporting your budgeting journey in 2025 and beyond.
