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. Perplexity 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.
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 Perplexity 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.
5.3. Audit Trail
Every MCP data request is logged with complete session details for Perplexity financial planning transparency. When Perplexity accesses your Hancock Whitney account data, the timestamp and specific information retrieved gets recorded automatically. You maintain full visibility into which financial details were accessed during each interaction. This comprehensive tracking ensures you always know exactly what happened with your sensitive financial information.
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 Perplexity financial planning algorithms. This comprehensive approach ensures up to 10 years of clean, accurate transaction history for reliable analysis.
About Perplexity

Connectors must be enabled to access the full apps ecosystem, which allows real-time integration with banking platforms, investment portfolios, and budgeting tools.
Perplexity's distinguishing feature is its ability to combine live web search with your private account data — meaning every answer about your Hancock Whitney holdings is grounded in both your actual numbers and current market context, with citations to source material. This connectivity transforms Perplexity personal finance analysis from static advice into dynamic, account-specific recommendations based on your actual transaction history, spending patterns, and current market data.

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.
Perplexity receives only a scoped data token with read-only access, meaning it cannot move money, execute trades, or modify account settings. 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 Perplexity 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 Perplexity from executing any transactions on your Hancock Whitney account. Instead, Perplexity personal finance capabilities focus on surfacing your fee burden across accounts, flagging allocation drift, and modeling cash flow scenarios using your actual transaction history combined with live web research.
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 Perplexity 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.

Just your live Perplexity Hancock Whitney portfolio view, analyzed alongside current market context whenever you have a question. Check your investment performance, run AI stock analysis, review fees against current industry benchmarks, model retirement scenarios, or simply ask Perplexity to explain what changed since last month and cite the news driving it. Because the data refreshes automatically through Truthifi's read-only connector, every answer reflects your current balances, holdings, and transaction history.
Note: MCP connections require a Pro subscription ($20/mo).
Do I need a paid Perplexity plan?
To use Perplexity financial planning features with Truthifi, you need a Pro subscription at $20/mo or higher. Connectors must be enabled in your Perplexity settings before connecting. Free accounts cannot access custom MCP servers required for Hancock Whitney integration.
Where is my data stored?
Perplexity doesn't store portfolio information between conversations. When you connect to Hancock Whitney through our MCP system, data flows directly to your session without being saved. Once your conversation ends, nothing remains stored anywhere for Perplexity financial planning purposes.
How do I enable the Perplexity connection with Truthifi?
To reactivate your MCP connection for Perplexity financial planning, go to the connectors panel and toggle Truthifi on. You'll need to repeat this step each time you start a new conversation with Perplexity, though your Hancock Whitney account connection remains intact between sessions.
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 Perplexity supplements advisors between meetings with account insights and current market research.
What is Truthifi?
Truthifi serves as an independent financial data platform that enables you to connect Perplexity 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, Perplexity 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 Perplexity for finance. Only Perplexity receives your data during active conversations, and we maintain a subscription model that never involves selling your financial information to third-party companies.
Subject to Perplexity privacy policy.
Can I connect both Perplexity and ChatGPT to my Hancock Whitney account?
Yes. Each AI connection through Truthifi is independent. Connecting Perplexity 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 Perplexity compare to a robo advisor for managing my Hancock Whitney portfolio?
A robo advisor makes investment decisions for you within a managed account. Perplexity does something different: it gives you AI financial analysis of your existing Hancock Whitney accounts paired with cited web research, without moving or managing your money. Think of it as an AI investment tracker and research engine combined.
Can Perplexity help with tax planning or estate planning?
Perplexity can surface data relevant to tax planning — such as tax-loss harvesting candidates and short-term vs. long-term gain splits — along with current IRS guidance from the web. For estate planning, Perplexity can show your full asset picture across Hancock Whitney accounts, which is useful input for estate planning conversations with a qualified professional.
What types of accounts can I connect beyond Hancock Whitney?
