Why mapping matters
Wrong destinations break balances and payment flows in YNAB. Remapping later changes import-from-date behaviour for that bank account — review carefully so you do not re-import into the wrong register.

How to map
1. After authorize, open the mapping screen for the connection. You can map up to 4 bank accounts per institution connection. Extra bank connections each get their own mapping allowance.
2. Assign each bank account you want synced to a YNAB account. Leave unmapped accounts alone if you do not need them in YNAB.
3. Save, enable sync, and review the first import. Adjust field mapping if payee or memo sources need different bank fields.

Edge cases
Credit cards: only map when the bank returns a card product; use a YNAB credit card account.
Extra accounts beyond the cap: unmap one, or add another institution connection if you have a second login.
