BankPilot – Your Finances. Your AI. Your Control.
What if you could simply ask ChatGPT about your finances instead of manually checking bank accounts, spreadsheets, and transactions?
Meet BankPilot, a Germany-based Open Banking platform that connects your bank accounts with AI assistants like ChatGPT through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — while also providing powerful, automated payment monitoring without requiring AI.
Whether you're managing your personal finances, running a small business, or keeping track of rental income across multiple properties, BankPilot helps you stay in control of your money.
🤖 1. Connect Your Bank Accounts to ChatGPT
BankPilot brings real banking data into your favorite AI assistant through its MCP integration.
Instead of exporting CSV files, uploading bank statements, or manually calculating your expenses, you can simply ask questions in natural language.
Examples of what you can ask ChatGPT:
"What's my current bank balance?"
"How much money did I earn and spend this month?"
"What were my five biggest expenses?"
"Which recurring subscriptions am I paying for?"
"Have all my tenants paid their rent this month?"
"How much have I spent on housing costs this year?"
"Compare my income and expenses over the last three months."
"Which unusual transactions should I review?"
"Show me my year-to-date income and expenses."
"What recurring payments should I expect?"
BankPilot provides the financial data. Your AI assistant helps you understand it.
No new AI assistant to learn. No complicated dashboards to navigate. Just your banking data, accessible through the AI tools you already use.
BankPilot is available as an integration in ChatGPT and supports MCP-compatible AI clients.

🏠 2. Built for Landlords – Automated Rent Monitoring
BankPilot originally started with a simple problem we experienced ourselves as property owners:
Why do landlords still have to manually check whether their tenants have paid their rent?
Managing rental properties involves more than collecting rent. There are property management fees, mortgage payments, insurance, taxes, maintenance costs, and countless other recurring transactions.
Missing just one payment can easily go unnoticed.
That's why we built BankPilot.
What landlords can do:
Automatically monitor incoming rental payments.
Track recurring property-related expenses.
Detect missing, delayed, or unexpected payments.
Set up individual monitoring rules for expected transactions.
Receive notifications when payments require attention.
Monitor multiple properties and bank accounts.
Review income and expenses across their portfolio.
Access financial summaries and transaction data for accounting and tax preparation.
Whether you own one rental apartment or manage a larger property portfolio, BankPilot takes repetitive financial checks off your to-do list.
And the best part? None of this requires AI.
Our classic payment monitoring works independently, automatically checking your connected banking data against your configured expectations.
Connect your bank, configure your rules, and let BankPilot do the monitoring.
💳 3. Personal Finance & Small Business Monitoring
BankPilot isn't just for landlords.

👨💻 6. Built by People Who Know Data, IT & AI
Behind BankPilot is a small team of founders with more than 30 years of combined professional experience in IT, data, AI, and technology consulting.
We're not building another complicated financial dashboard or trying to replace your bank.
We started BankPilot because we faced a real problem ourselves: monitoring financial transactions across rental properties was unnecessarily manual, repetitive, and time-consuming.
What began as a solution for landlords evolved into something bigger.
With the emergence of MCP and AI assistants, we saw an opportunity to make banking data accessible in a completely new way.
We believe the future of personal finance isn't another app you have to open every day. It's financial information that becomes accessible when you need it, in the tools you already use.
We're an independent, founder-driven project, actively improving BankPilot based on real feedback from our users.
Our goal isn't to add more features for the sake of complexity. It's to solve real financial problems with simple, reliable technology.
