Connecting your Tangerine accounts to Boreal

Tangerine often appeals to people who want a simpler, more digital banking setup, but a simpler interface does not always mean an easier monthly picture. You may still have savings, day-to-day spending, and credit activity moving in different directions. Connecting supported Tangerine accounts to Boreal through Plaid helps bring that activity together in one view.

The connection is read-only from the start. Boreal can examine balances and transactions so it can create your dashboard and insights, but it cannot transfer money, pay a bill, or make changes to your Tangerine accounts. Plaid handles the sign-in step, and Boreal never receives your online banking password.

What Boreal shows you

Once your Tangerine data is connected, Boreal removes the manual work that usually comes with a personal finance app. Transactions are categorized automatically, recurring charges become easier to notice, and you can see how the month is changing without maintaining your own budget system.

That is useful whether Tangerine is your main bank or one piece of a wider setup. Boreal is built to explain what changed, what looks steady, and where cash flow appears to be heading next. You do not need to spend time sorting transactions or checking each account separately to get that answer.

This is often where a digital-first setup benefits from an outside summary. Even when the banking experience feels tidy, the month can still be noisy. Boreal helps translate those movements into a clearer explanation of spending, recurring costs, and momentum without asking for more upkeep from you.

Typically supported account types

  • Chequing accounts used for everyday digital banking, bill payments, and deposits.
  • Savings accounts that hold cash goals, short-term reserves, or general savings.
  • Credit cards that help Boreal identify spending categories and repeating charges.
  • Lines of credit when that account type is available through Plaid.

How syncing and reconnection work

After you link supported Tangerine accounts, Boreal continues syncing new account activity in the background as Plaid receives updated data. That helps your monthly view stay connected without asking you to rebuild anything manually.

Tangerine or Plaid can occasionally require a fresh login before the connection keeps updating. Reconnecting the account in Boreal usually brings the feed back, and the exact coverage can still depend on the account type involved.

Security and privacy

Tangerine connections in Boreal are read-only. Boreal can view account data to explain spending and cash flow, but it cannot move money or take actions on the account.

Your credentials are handled by Plaid rather than Boreal, so Boreal does not receive or store your banking password. Boreal uses AES-256 encryption to protect the financial data it keeps for your dashboard and insight history.

If you want to stop using the connection, you can disconnect the supported account or delete your Boreal data. Control stays with you even though the app automates the analysis.

Connecting other Canadian institutions at the same time

You are not restricted to Tangerine alone. Supported accounts from RBC and EQ Bank can be connected at the same time so Boreal reflects both sides of your setup.

Connection notes

Tangerine coverage can vary by account type and by what Plaid supports when you connect. Not every Tangerine product is guaranteed to be available, and some accounts may occasionally need to be reconnected.
