   1. Then search for your bank using the name of the bank (at least 3 letters long), or the bank’s website link

      2. Select the Delete Account button to remove this account from being imported
         
         
         1. Check the box off next to All account-related data will be deleted permanently, this means that Yodlee will no longer pick up this account from the connection after it’s been deleted, and no information is deleted from the bank account
            
            
         2. Then select the Delete button to confirm
         3. Next, select the X button in the top corner to close the Delete Account confirmation
   1. Select Import to import all selected accounts
10. A pop-up will ask you to how far back to import expenses from - choose between Today, 7 Days ago, 30 Days ago, 90 Days ago, 365 Days ago, or Custom
    
    
11. Select Done
12. You’ll now be taken back to the Bank Connections section, leave this page open for at least 10 minutes
13. After 10+ minutes, a confirmation will appear, and the status next to your bank account will display as Updated <1 minute ago
14. Next, you can go to the Expenses section and start organizing your newly imported expenses, which can take anywhere from 1 minute to 2 hours to appear depending on the bank connection.

To look for expenses that have not been assigned a category, select the Advanced Search button and choose Uncategorized Expenses in the Category field, and select Apply. 

We recommend checking your bank connections on a regular basis to ensure your expenses are consistently importing with no errors or actions required by you.

5. Check the box off next to Apply to future imported expenses
