How long does the first sync take?
What to expect right after you link an account for the first time.
CWritten by the Cove Team · Updated June 2026
After you link an account, Cove pulls in your recent history and categorizes it. This usually takes a minute or two, though some institutions are slower on the first sync.
If it seems stuck
Give it a few minutes and pull to refresh. If transactions still haven't appeared after a while, check the account's connection status or re-link it.
