Connecting Third-Party Accounts
Overview
The Connected Accounts section in your settings shows integrations between your StartGlobal account and external services such as bank accounts. You can see the connection status of each linked account, reconnect accounts that require attention, and disconnect accounts you no longer need. This guide walks you through managing your connected accounts.
