Frequently asked questions

U.S. Bank Mobile App or online banking:

  1. From the Accounts dashboard, select Link external accounts. Then choose the financial institution from the list or use the search option.
  2. Next, you’ll be asked to enter your login info for that account. When the connection is successful, you can view the account’s balance, transactions and other details on your U.S. Bank account dashboard.

When you link a financial institution to your mobile app or online banking experience, all of the accounts you hold with that financial institution or bank will be connected. If you don’t want all of them to appear on your dashboard, you can choose to hide them individually.

The three common error messages when trying to connect to an external financial institution are:

We may use your information to help you with your accounts and give you more personalized guidance. We may also use this information to determine if there are more U.S. Bank products that might meet your needs.
