Moving from WalletHub 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
Whether WalletHub can export your transactions is unrecorded. Empower (Personal Capital) records history import as No: your history does not move, and you start from whatever your banks return on connection.

Transactions, balance history and attachments are Empower (Personal Capital)’s own import attributes. Budgets and rules never transfer between two apps in this index.
What you gain
- Nothing recorded
What you lose
- History import Yes → No
- Credit scores Yes → No
- Partner or household Yes → No
What is unchanged
- Free tier, Account aggregation, Budgeting, Recurring transactions, Bills, Goal tracking, Net worth, Investment tracking, Reports, AI categorization, Adviser access
50 attributes are Unknown on one side and left out. Gains and losses are a diff of the two records.
How to do it
- Export from WalletHub 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. Banks named most often in Empower (Personal Capital)’s 500 most recent App Store reviews: Fidelity (10), Schwab (4), Chase (3), Robinhood (3), Discover (2) — read what they say before you connect those first.
- 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.
