Understanding the bank sync status banner

One banner at the top of Transactions tracks each sync from fetching to AI processing to done.

beginner· Updated 7/18/2026

When AkountFly pulls new transactions from your bank, a single status banner at the top of the AI Bank Transactions Center tracks the whole pipeline: fetching from the bank, importing, then AI categorisation.

The banner updates in place as the sync progresses and disappears when everything is processed. If a stage fails (for example your bank session expired), the banner tells you exactly what to do next: usually a re-authorisation via the Update bank transactions button.

Large syncs (hundreds of transactions or several months of backlog) can take a few minutes in the AI stage; you can keep working elsewhere and come back.

    Watch the banner

    The banner shows the current stage and progress. New transactions land in the Review Needed tab as they're categorised.

    Act on failures

    If the banner reports a failure, follow its call-to-action: most commonly reconnecting the bank.
