Connecting Accounts on the Kudos Mobile App for iOS and Android
From the home screen, tap Connect accounts.
Next, tap Connect bank or scroll to your list of cards below that show the banks to connect.
Tap Continue.
Next, enter your phone number or tap Continue as guest.
You'll receive a one-time code as a text message. Enter the code and tap Continue.
Next, select the accounts from your financial institutions. You can also tap + at the bottom to add a new financial institution.
Tap Continue to log in to your bank account.
Enter your username and password for your financial institution to allow Plaid to share your account info. Plaid does not share this login information with Kudos.
After you have successfully logged in and connected your accounts (you can connect them all or select specific ones), you'll be routed back to the Kudos app.
You are now connected!
Match your accounts to cards
Unlike some other apps that automatically link accounts, Kudos requires a quick manual match after connecting via Plaid. This is because Plaid tells us a financial account exists, but doesn't share which specific credit card it belongs to, so we can't auto-match the way some apps do with bank accounts. This is a one-time step. Once your accounts are matched, everything syncs automatically going forward.
Tap Please select an available card. This will show you a list of the cards in your Kudos wallet. Don't see your card? Tap Add new card to your wallet.
Once you've connected all of your accounts to your cards, confirm by tapping Looks good.
That's it!
We'll begin syncing all of your transactions inside Kudos.
If you ever want to link additional accounts or unlink accounts, head to Account Settings by tapping the gear icon in the upper right corner of the main screen. Scroll down, and you'll be able to:
Manage your linked accounts
Sync transactions
Delete your Plaid data
Connecting Your Accounts on the Web

Select the accounts you want to link, or click + to add a new account not already associated with a card in your wallet.
Click Continue to log in to your account.
Enter your username and password for your financial institution to allow Plaid to share your account info. Plaid does not share this login information with Kudos.
