Why Truthifi?

5.1. Security

Your Hancock Whitney username and password never touch Truthifi's servers. Authentication occurs directly on your provider's domain, creating a read-only, protocol-enforced connection secured with AES-256 encryption. OpenClaw receives only scoped data tokens, never your actual credentials. You maintain complete control and can revoke access anytime at Hancock Whitney's connected apps settings or through your Truthifi dashboard. Because OpenClaw is open source and often self-hosted, security-conscious users can audit every line of the agent code that touches financial data.

5.2. Privacy

Your financial data stays under your complete control when using Truthifi. We never store login credentials from Hancock Whitney or any financial institution. You decide which specific accounts OpenClaw can access, creating selective permissions rather than blanket access. Data never gets sold to third parties, and connecting one AI tool doesn't automatically grant access to others. Self-hosted OpenClaw deployments let your prompts and responses stay entirely within infrastructure you control.

5.3. Audit Trail

Every MCP data request is logged with complete session details for OpenClaw financial planning transparency. When OpenClaw accesses your Hancock Whitney account data, the timestamp and specific information retrieved gets recorded automatically — and self-hosted instances can persist these logs locally for as long as you choose. You maintain full visibility into which financial details were accessed during each interaction.

5.4. Data Quality

When Hancock Whitney delivers raw transaction data with up to 24 months, Truthifi rebuilds historical information from multiple aggregation sources to correct these inconsistencies. Our normalization process fills data gaps and resolves ticker mismatches that could mislead OpenClaw financial planning algorithms. This comprehensive approach ensures up to 10 years of clean, accurate transaction history for reliable analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to connect my Hancock Whitney account through Truthifi?

Connecting through Hancock Whitney's username/password authentication with multi-factor verification via BAA, Plaid, and Yodlee ensures your login credentials stay exactly where they belong: on Hancock Whitney's own secure servers. When you connect, you're redirected to Hancock Whitney's domain to log in directly, then grant specific read-only permissions before returning to Truthifi. Your username and password never pass through our systems.

Every data request is logged for transparency, and you maintain full control through Hancock Whitney's connected apps settings or our dashboard. Complete security details at https://truthifi.com/security.

What does Truthifi allow with my Hancock Whitney data — and what does it block?

When you connect OpenClaw to financial accounts, the AI cannot move money, place trades, or change account settings due to architectural limitations. The read-only access token from username/password authentication via BAA, Plaid, and Yodlee prevents OpenClaw from executing any transactions on your Hancock Whitney account. Instead, OpenClaw personal finance capabilities focus on surfacing your fee burden across accounts, flagging allocation drift, and modeling cash flow scenarios using your actual transaction history.

Financial advisors provide tailored guidance based on your full financial picture, while AI analysis supplements your understanding between professional meetings.

What about my financial advisor?

The relationship between Hancock Whitney advisors and OpenClaw creates a comprehensive support system for your financial planning needs.

What Hancock Whitney account types does Truthifi support?

Truthifi supports connecting your Hancock Whitney checking, savings, mortgage, investment, trust, and commercial accounts through its read-only MCP connector. Each account type is linked with the same security architecture — no trading, no transfers, no changes to your Hancock Whitney settings. You can connect multiple account types simultaneously for a complete financial picture.

How does Truthifi compare to other options?

How do I disconnect OpenClaw from Truthifi?

To disconnect OpenClaw from Truthifi, go to Settings → MCP Servers → find Truthifi → Remove. You can also revoke access directly from Hancock Whitney. This won't affect your other AI connections, and OpenClaw financial planning features will stop receiving your data once disconnected.

Your OpenClaw Hancock Whitney connection through Truthifi represents a new way to interact with your own financial data. No exports, no stale spreadsheets, no guesswork. Just your live OpenClaw Hancock Whitney portfolio view, analyzed whenever you have a question — running on infrastructure you control. Check your investment performance, run AI stock analysis, review fees across accounts, model retirement scenarios, or simply ask OpenClaw to explain what changed since last month. Because the data refreshes automatically through Truthifi's read-only connector, every answer reflects your current balances, holdings, and transaction history.

Note: OpenClaw is free and open source. MCP connections require no paid subscription — but you may run inference costs depending on the LLM backend you configure.

Do I need a paid OpenClaw plan?

OpenClaw is open source and free. To use OpenClaw financial planning features with Truthifi, MCP server support must be enabled in your OpenClaw config before connecting. You may incur costs from whatever LLM backend you point OpenClaw at, but the agent itself is free.

Where is my data stored?

OpenClaw doesn't store portfolio information between conversations by default. When you connect to Hancock Whitney through our MCP system, data flows directly to your session without being saved. Self-hosted OpenClaw instances can be configured to persist conversation history locally if you wish, but this is opt-in.

How do I enable the OpenClaw connection with Truthifi?

To reactivate your MCP connection for OpenClaw financial planning, enable the Truthifi MCP server in your tools menu. You'll need to repeat this step each time you start a new conversation with OpenClaw by default, or configure persistent enablement in your OpenClaw config file.

Does this replace my financial advisor?

No, connecting Hancock Whitney through Truthifi does not replace your financial advisor. The platform offers data analysis, not advisory services, while OpenClaw supplements advisors between meetings with account insights.

What is Truthifi?

Truthifi serves as an independent financial data platform that enables you to connect OpenClaw to financial accounts from over 18,000 US institutions. The service operates on a subscription model and does not sell data, earn commissions, or sell financial products. Through secure MCP integration, OpenClaw can access your Hancock Whitney accounts and other holdings for AI financial planning purposes.

Who can see my data?

No external parties can access your Hancock Whitney account information when using OpenClaw for finance. With self-hosted OpenClaw, only your chosen LLM backend receives prompts containing your data. We maintain a subscription model that never involves selling your financial information to third-party companies.

OpenClaw is open source; review its license and contributor agreements before deployment.

Can I connect both OpenClaw and ChatGPT to my Hancock Whitney account?

Yes. Each AI connection through Truthifi is independent. Connecting OpenClaw does not expose your data to ChatGPT, and vice versa. You control which accounts each AI can see, and you can revoke either connection at any time without affecting the other.

How does OpenClaw compare to a robo advisor for managing my Hancock Whitney portfolio?

A robo advisor makes investment decisions for you within a managed account. OpenClaw does something different: it gives you AI financial analysis of your existing Hancock Whitney accounts without moving or managing your money, with full control over the agent code and LLM backend. Think of it as an AI investment tracker you fully own.

Can OpenClaw help with tax planning or estate planning?

OpenClaw can surface data relevant to tax planning — such as tax-loss harvesting candidates and short-term vs. long-term gain splits. For estate planning, OpenClaw can show your full asset picture across Hancock Whitney accounts, which is useful input for estate planning conversations with a qualified professional. Self-hosted OpenClaw is particularly attractive for users with privacy concerns about cloud LLMs handling estate data.

What types of accounts can I connect beyond Hancock Whitney?

Truthifi supports over 18,000 US financial institutions. You can connect AI to brokerage accounts, savings accounts, checking accounts, retirement accounts (IRA, 401k), HSA accounts, credit accounts, insurance accounts, mortgage accounts, and more. Once connected, OpenClaw provides a unified AI financial dashboard across all your accounts.
