If you are notified that your bank is transitioning to Open Banking, that is great news! That means your bank has upgraded their linking system to the new Open Banking technology. To re-connect your accounts with this bank, your coach will need to close your existing connections and you will need to re-link these accounts.
The following checklist should make the process easier, but you can troubleshoot any issues with your coach/advisor.
- Check your login id and password by logging into your account directly at the financial institution’s website
- Clear any prompts on their website
- Log out of that website and close the browser
- Log into FCN MoneyCoach and navigate to the My Accounts page by clicking on your name in the upper right
- Follow the prompts and add your accounts
- Screenshot any error messages you receive
- Once you link an account, it may not show in the list for 3-5 minutes
- If your accounts don’t appear within 5 minutes, please attempt the linking process again
- After waiting an additional 5 minutes, if the accounts still don’t appear, please send a screenshot of any error messages to your coach/advisor so the Tech Team can provide support
As additional institutions adopt the Open Banking protocols, you’ll need to repeat this process of closing and relinking the impacted accounts. The good news is FastLink and Open Banking are far more efficient, secure, and stable linking systems so issues will be far rarer as more institutions adopt the new technology.
Thank you for your patience as the financial industry transitions to the new protocols.

Please note that in some cases, the institution may not have the main bank’s name in the linked account in FCN MoneyCoach. For example, Southwest Airlines credit cards are Chase accounts, but they do not have Chase in their name. If you’re not sure about an account, please contact your coach/advisor to help determine who they are serviced by.
FastLink and Open Banking Technology Transition by US Institutions
MoneyCoach uses FastLink technology which allows linking using the updated Open Banking protocols. Open Banking allows for more stable and secure connections that solve many of the frustrations with the old way of linking accounts (such as having to reconnect broken links). FastLink is available for all institutions, whether they have adopted Open Banking yet or not.
