Overview
- Google rolled out the Wallet connector for Gemini app users in the U.S. on Friday, Nov. 13, making the feature available on web, Android and iOS.
- Users enable the feature in Gemini’s Personal Intelligence settings under Connected Apps and can revoke access at any time.
- Linking bank and card accounts is optional and done through Plaid so Gemini can access richer transaction details without storing bank credentials.
- Gemini’s access is strictly read-only, which means the assistant can analyze transactions to create spending visualizations, flag recurring subscriptions and suggest budgets but cannot move, manage, or invest users’ money.
- Google says raw Wallet data will not directly train its models while allowing activity summaries to be used for training if users enable that setting, and the update extends Gemini’s Personal Intelligence push that could raise privacy and competitive questions.
