# How to connect or reconnect a bank account

Connect a bank account in **Banks** so haddock can import movements for reconciliation and treasury views.

## Who can connect a bank

Only the restaurant **owner** or an **administrator** with reconciliation page access can open **Banks** and manage connections.

## Connect an account

1. Open **Banks** in the side menu.
2. Go to **Settings**.
3. In **Bank connection**, click **Add new bank account**.
4. Search for your institution and click **Connect**.
5. Complete the read-only authorization with your bank.
6. Return to haddock. The connection stays in progress until the first sync finishes.

The connection is **read-only**. haddock imports recent transactions, balances, and account metadata for reconciliation.

## Reconnect or fix a connection

If a bank stops syncing or shows an error in **Settings**:

1. Open **Banks** → **Settings**.
2. Find the affected account or requisition.
3. Follow **Reconnect** or repeat the connection flow for that institution.
4. Wait for the sync banner to clear, then check **Transactions**.

Remove a connection from the same card when you no longer want that account in haddock.

## Use a bank already connected in the group

If the same bank is already connected for another restaurant in your group, haddock can show **Bank accounts available in your group**. Choose **Link** to attach those accounts to the current restaurant without authorizing again.

## After connecting

- Account details appear under **Banks** → **Settings**.
- Movements appear under **Banks** → **Transactions**.
- With **Fina** bank reconciliation enabled, haddock can suggest matches between movements and invoices.
