Doesn’t support Canadian banks

Looks like a great tool and I was so excited to use it. But because of new 2FA rules it wouldn’t allow me to connect any of my Canadian banks to the app. I tried to reach out to their team and no response about suggestions. Even if I could upload my transactions weekly that’d still make this app useable for me
