Moving from Albert to Empower (Personal Capital)
Assembled from both records. Nothing here is an opinion — it is the difference between two rows, written out.
Your data — read this first

How to do it
- Export from Albert first
Take the transaction export while your subscription is live. The record is unknown on export, so check before you cancel.
- Connect accounts
Find out which of your banks fail before you are billed. Empower (Personal Capital) reaches banks through Yodlee.
- Rebuild budgets and rules
No app in this index imports another’s budgets or rules. Budgets are quick; rules are worth rebuilding as transactions arrive rather than all at once.
