# How to connect your bank to use Fina for bank reconciliation

To let Fina suggest bank reconciliations, you need two things:

- enable **Analyze and suggest bank reconciliations**
- connect at least one account in **Banks**

## Before you start

- Only the restaurant **owner** or an **administrator** can connect a bank account.
- The connection is **read-only**. haddock checks your last 90 days of transactions, balances, and account data to work on bank reconciliation.
- The initial sync may take a few minutes. If the account does not appear right away, wait and refresh **Banks > Settings**.

## Step 1. Enable the Fina option

1. Go to **Fina**.
2. Open the **Banks** tab within Fina settings.
3. Enable **Analyze and suggest bank reconciliations**.

> If you are still activating Fina for the first time, this option also appears in step **5. Bank reconciliation** of the wizard.

## Step 2. Connect the bank account

1. Go to the **Banks** module in the side menu.
2. Open **Settings**.
3. In the **Bank connection** card, click **Add new bank account**.
4. Search for your institution in **Search bank** and click **Connect**.
5. Complete the authorization with your bank.
6. Return to haddock. The connection will remain in progress and the account details will appear shortly.

## If your bank is already connected in another location in the group

If you have already connected that bank in another restaurant in the same group, you do not need to repeat the connection. In the flow, you will see the **Bank accounts available in your group** section: just click **Link** to associate those accounts with the current location.

## What you will see next

- The connected account will appear in **Banks > Settings**.
- The synchronized transactions will appear in **Banks > Transactions**.
- Fina will be able to analyze your invoices and bank movements to suggest reconciliations.

## If you do not see the option

- Check that your user is an **owner** or **administrator**.
- If you do not see the **Banks** tab, the feature may not yet be enabled for your restaurant.
- If you just authorized the bank and still do not see the account, wait a few minutes and check the sync again.
