OpenAI now wants ChatGPT to access your bank accounts

OpenAI has announced a new feature for its $200-per-month Pro tier in the U.S. that enables users to connect their bank accounts to ChatGPT through the Plaid platform. This integration allows the chatbot to analyze spending history, subscription activity, and financial goals to provide personalized advice. While OpenAI emphasizes that the system cannot modify bank accounts or view full account numbers, it gains visibility into balances, transactions, and liabilities like mortgages or debt. To address security concerns, OpenAI provides controls to disconnect accounts and manage data usage, though the long-term implications for user privacy and data handling remain a subject of debate.
