Before you subscribe
Answers that help you decide whether PayPal fits your YNAB workflow.
- Will my account work?
- PayPal appears in BudgetSyncer’s open-banking list for Netherlands. After you authorize, you map the accounts your bank returns to YNAB. Credit card accounts can sync where your bank exposes them through open banking. Availability varies by bank and country — confirm the accounts returned after you authorize.
- What happens after signup?
- Create a free BudgetSyncer account, connect YNAB with OAuth, choose Netherlands, select PayPal, authorize on your bank’s PSD2 screen, then map accounts. Create a free account to browse supported banks and connect YNAB. Subscribe on the website or in the BudgetSyncer iOS app to link a bank and sync — new subscribers get a 7-day free trial.
- How often will transactions arrive?
- Transactions sync automatically on your chosen schedule (default twice per day; you can add or change sync times on the connections page). Exact local times are shown for your timezone. You can also start a manual sync anytime from BudgetSyncer. With Enable Banking there is no separate daily limit on user-triggered syncs (banks may still delay publishing transactions).
- How much history can I import?
- Enable Banking reports up to 90 days of transaction history for PayPal. Initial sync imports available history; later syncs add new transactions.
- Will I need to reconnect?
- Yes, eventually — your bank’s open-banking consent typically lasts about 180 days. BudgetSyncer prompts you when consent needs renewing; you sign in at the bank again and keep the same YNAB mapping.
- What will it cost?
- 4.99€/mo · 7-day free trial · Cancel anytime · No credit card required to explore. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial.
