Reported by a user who spent over an hour and a half on the onboarding
syncing step, on two devices, without ever getting into the app.
## What was happening
When Enable Banking rate limits a connection, `SyncBankingConnectionJob`
records the error and backs off, but leaves the connection **Active with
`last_synced_at` still NULL** — the exact shape `syncStatus` treated as
"still syncing". The step polled that endpoint forever, and there was no
deadline or escape on the client.
Confirmed in production for the reporter: a Trade Republic connection
returned `429` on every scheduled sync for two days straight. They
unblocked themselves by deleting the connection — `onboarded_at` was set
four seconds later. Three other users are in the same state right now,
one of them from today.
## What changed
- **`syncStatus` no longer waits on a connection that already failed**,
and reports it as `failed` separately from `pending`.
- **The step says so instead of pretending it worked.** Advancing
silently dropped the user on a "You are all set!" screen with an empty
dashboard and no way to find out why. Now they get a short explanation
and a Continue button.
- **Client deadline raised to 5 minutes** — the previous 2 was under the
worst case of a healthy first sync (3 attempts of a 120s job, 30s apart)
— and the status request now has a timeout, so a hanging poll can't
stall the step either. A failing status check keeps polling until the
deadline rather than skipping the user ahead.
- **`AccountMappingController` clears the stale error** when it
reactivates a connection, so a genuine sync in flight isn't reported as
failed.
## Testing
- Feature tests for the rate-limited case, for a healthy connection
syncing alongside a failed one, and for the failed flag; a
`rateLimited()` factory state replaces the hand-rolled attributes.
- Vitest coverage for the three client branches: failed, deadline
reached, and the normal advance.
- Browser QA against the real app, reproducing the production state: the
honest screen appears instead of the spinner, Continue moves on, the
user completes onboarding and reaches the app; and a genuinely pending
sync still spins and then advances by itself once the connection syncs.
No console errors.

<!-- PLACEHOLDER: drag the QA video here -->
## Not in this PR
`settings/connections.tsx` has the same `active && !last_synced_at` =
"syncing" heuristic, so a rate-limited connection shows a permanent
green "Syncing" badge there and its error is never rendered (the error
block is gated on `status === 'error'`). Same bug class, separate
surface — worth a follow-up.
## What
Adds **Interactive Brokers** as a banking sync provider (investment
account, balances only), mirroring the Indexa Capital integration.
It uses the **Flex Web Service** rather than IBKR's Web API: the Web API
requires registering as an IBKR third party (business entity, Compliance
approval, RSA-signed OAuth, ~3-5 weeks), which is overkill for read-only
balance sync. Flex is a read-only token + Query ID model that fits our
existing API-key provider shape.
### How the sync works
- The user creates an Activity Flex Query (NAV + Open Positions) and a
Flex Web Service token in their IBKR Client Portal, then pastes both.
- Client flow: `SendRequest` → reference code → poll `GetStatement` →
parse the XML statement.
- Mapping: `EquitySummaryByReportDateInBase@total` → `balance` (daily
rows give historical backfill on first sync); `Σ(OpenPosition
costBasisMoney × fxRateToBase) + cash` → `invested_amount`, so **profit
derives as `balance − invested_amount`** (unrealized P&L), like Indexa
Capital. Everything is already in base currency, so no FX conversion is
needed.
- One statement covers every account, so the syncer fetches once per
connection to respect IB's per-query rate limit.
- IB returns HTTP 200 with an error XML, so the client translates Flex
error codes into the exceptions the sync job already understands:
`RequestException(401)` for token problems, `RequestException(429)` for
throttling, `TransientBankingProviderException` otherwise.
### Connect flow
- New connect/update-credentials endpoints validate the credentials by
pulling a statement, then build pending accounts from it.
- Credentials reuse the encrypted `api_token` (Flex token) and
`api_secret` (Flex Query ID) columns — **no migration**.
- The IB option (two fields) is added to the connect dialog, inline
connect flow, and update-credentials dialog, with Spanish translations.
## Feature flag (why this is a draft)
Gated behind a Pennant feature `App\Features\InteractiveBrokers` (off by
default). It was built against documented/open-source Flex XML fixtures,
**not a live IBKR account** (we don't have one). Before enabling,
validate against a real account (beta tester or a free IBKR account):
```
php artisan feature:enable InteractiveBrokers user@example.com
```
If the parser needs tweaks against real XML, they should be minor
(field-name level).
## Tests
- Client + balance sync: NAV → balance, invested/profit, daily backfill,
since-date incremental, multi-account, GetStatement polling, token-401 /
rate-limit-429 mapping.
- Controller: feature-flag gate (403), valid/invalid credentials,
subscription gate, onboarding auto-create, validation.
- Factory wiring, enum cases, job-level sync, feature-flag visibility
(vitest).
- Spanish translations added (enforced by `LocalizationTest`).
All green: `pint --test`, `phpstan`, OpenBanking + localization suite,
vitest.
## What
Unifies keys that were repeated across the codebase into two PHP enums
as the single source of truth. Two independent commits:
### `refactor(banking)` — `BankingProvider` enum
- New `App\Enums\BankingProvider` (`indexacapital`, `binance`,
`bitpanda`, `coinbase`, `wise`, `enablebanking`).
- `BankingConnection`'s `provider` column is cast to the enum → magic
strings gone from the model, controllers (`match`), requests, jobs,
commands, factory and `where('provider', ...)`.
- Logic that was duplicated, now on the enum:
- `usesApiKey()` — API-key auth (everything except EnableBanking).
- `defaultAccountType()` — provider → account type (removes the
duplicated ternary in `CreatesAccountsFromPending` and
`AccountMappingController`).
### `refactor(i18n)` — `Locale` enum
- New `App\Enums\Locale` (`en`/`es`/`fr`).
- Unifies the `['en','es','fr']` list (validation in `SetLocale` and
`ProfileUpdateRequest` via `Rule::enum`) and the `Accept-Language`
detection (`Locale::detectFromHeader`), previously duplicated in
`SetLocale` and `CreateNewUser`.
## Interaction with Wise (PR #525)
Rebasing onto Wise surfaced two issues this PR fixes:
1. **`isWise()` was broken** once `provider` is cast (it compared `===
'wise'` against an enum → always `false`).
2. **Account type**: Wise uses an API key (✓ it gets the auth-failed
email) but is a **checking** account, not an investment one. Account
type now flows through `defaultAccountType()` (Wise/EnableBanking →
Checking; indexa/binance/bitpanda/coinbase → Investment).
## Behavior change (minor)
`CreateNewUser` now detects `fr` at registration (previously only
`es`/`en`), consistent with the existing French support.
## Out of scope
- Frontend (`['indexacapital','binance',...]`, `provider: string`):
syncing TS with the PHP enums would need typegen. It still receives the
string via `->value`.
- `TransactionSource::Wise/EnableBanking`: a separate enum (transaction
origin), not a duplicated check.
## Tests
- New: `tests/Unit/Enums/BankingProviderTest.php`,
`tests/Unit/Enums/LocaleTest.php`.
- `vendor/bin/pint --test` ✓ · Larastan ✓ · full suite (excluding
Browser) **1615/1616** ✓.
## Summary
Adds **Wise** as an API-token banking provider — connect flow,
transaction sync, and per-wallet balance sync — and fixes two bugs that
kept business/extra profiles and balances from working.
## Changes
- **Balance sync** — new `WiseBalanceSyncService` pulls
borderless-account balances on every sync. Previously Wise balances were
never fetched, so the displayed balance went stale (frozen at the last
value).
- **Multi-profile connect** — `WiseController` now creates accounts for
**every** profile on the token (personal *and* business), not just one.
- **ID-format fix** — `external_account_id` is now
`"{profileId}:{currency}"`. The connect flow previously wrote the
**borderless-account id**, but both sync services parse the **profile
id** — so any UI-connected account (and every business profile) silently
failed to sync.
- **Tests** — `WiseBalanceSyncTest` (currency matching, idempotent
today-balance, skip-when-unmapped) and `WiseControllerTest`
(multi-profile pending accounts, onboarding auto-create, invalid token).
## Test plan
- [x] `php artisan test
tests/Feature/OpenBanking/WiseBalanceSyncTest.php
tests/Feature/OpenBanking/WiseControllerTest.php` — 6 passing / 28
assertions
- [x] `vendor/bin/pint` — clean
- [ ] CI (full pest + lint + build)

## Summary
- **Fixes the broken retry mechanism** — after the first failed attempt
set status to `Error`, subsequent retry attempts bailed out because
`isActive()` returns `false` for `Error`. Now both `Active` and `Error`
statuses are syncable.
- **Adds auto-retry across scheduled runs** —
`SyncAllBankingConnectionsJob` and `banking:sync` command now include
`Error` connections where `consecutive_sync_failures < 3` (configurable
via `MAX_SCHEDULED_RETRIES`). After 3 full dispatch cycles, manual
intervention is required.
- **Logs every sync attempt to DB** — new `banking_sync_logs` table
records status (Success/Failed/Skipped), attempt number, error details,
duration, and metadata for each sync.
## Changes
### Core logic (`SyncBankingConnectionJob`)
- `isSyncableStatus()` allows both `Active` and `Error` through the gate
- Temporary errors: status only set to `Error` on the final attempt
(attempt 3); earlier attempts re-throw without changing status
- Permanent auth errors (401/403): `$this->fail()` called immediately,
`consecutive_sync_failures` set beyond the cap
- Rate limit (429): handled silently (existing behavior preserved)
- Every attempt is logged to `banking_sync_logs`
### Query updates
- `SyncAllBankingConnectionsJob`: includes `Error` connections under
retry cap
- `SyncBankingConnections` command: same query update for
`--user`/`--connection` filtered runs
### Controller updates
- `ConnectionController::sync()` and `updateCredentials()` reset
`consecutive_sync_failures` to 0
### New files
- `BankingSyncLogStatus` enum (Success, Failed, Skipped)
- `BankingSyncLog` model
- Two migrations: `add_consecutive_sync_failures` column,
`create_banking_sync_logs` table
### Tests
- Updated 3 existing auth error tests in `SyncBankingConnectionJobTest`
(24 pass)
- Added 17 new tests in `SyncRetryAndLoggingTest` covering retry
behavior, sync logging, scheduled retry inclusion/exclusion, and manual
retry reset
- All 10 `SyncBankingConnectionsCommandTest` tests still pass
## Summary
- Add Bitpanda as a new exchange provider using a single API key
(`X-Api-Key` header) to sync crypto and fiat wallet balances
- Follow the same architecture as Binance: provider string on
`banking_connections`, dedicated API client, balance sync service,
controller, form request, job wiring, factory state, route, and frontend
dialog
- Convert crypto wallet balances to the user's target currency via
`CurrencyConversionService`; fiat wallets are added directly or
converted if in a different currency
- Bitpanda appears in all countries in the connect dialog (same as
Binance)
- 18 new tests covering controller validation, balance sync scenarios,
sync job delegation, expiry handling, and email suppression
## Summary
- Adds Binance as a third banking provider alongside EnableBanking and
Indexa Capital
- Binance appears in the institution list for **all countries**, with
the full list sorted alphabetically
- Creates a single "Crypto Portfolio" investment account with total
portfolio value converted to the user's preferred currency
- Supports direct fiat pairs (e.g. BTCEUR), USD stablecoin 1:1 mapping,
and USDT fallback conversion
## Changes
- **Migration**: adds encrypted `api_secret` column to
`banking_connections`
- **BinanceClient**: HMAC-SHA256 authenticated API client for account
data and ticker prices
- **BinanceBalanceSyncService**: converts all non-zero balances to fiat
via direct pairs or USDT fallback
- **BinanceController + ConnectBinanceRequest**: validates credentials,
creates connection and single account
- **SyncBankingConnectionJob**: new `syncBinance()` branch
- **AccountMappingController**: Binance uses Investment account type
- **Frontend**: Binance institution for all countries, API Key + Secret
form fields, alphabetically sorted list
- **Factory**: `binance()` state on `BankingConnectionFactory`
## Test plan
- [x] `BinanceControllerTest` — 6 tests (valid connection, invalid
credentials, account-mapping flag, feature flag, validation, user
currency)
- [x] `BinanceBalanceSyncTest` — 7 tests (direct EUR pair, USDT
fallback, USD stablecoins, locked balances, same-date update, empty
balances, missing external ID)
- [x] Full test suite passes (545 tests)
- [x] Manual: open connection dialog → select any country → Binance
appears alphabetically → select Binance → API Key + Secret form →
connect
## Summary
- Allow users to connect their Indexa Capital (Spanish robo-advisor)
account via API token
- Adds "Indexa Capital" option when selecting Spain in the bank
connection dialog
- Token-based auth flow: user enters API token (instead of OAuth
redirect), validated against Indexa API, stored encrypted
- Syncs portfolio balance only (no transactions) from the
`/accounts/{id}/performance` endpoint
- Accounts created as `Investment` type
- Reuses existing account mapping flow when the `account-mapping`
feature flag is active
- Disconnect flow skips session revocation for Indexa (no OAuth session
to revoke)
## New files
- `IndexaCapitalClient` — HTTP client for Indexa Capital API
(`X-AUTH-TOKEN`)
- `IndexaCapitalBalanceSyncService` — Syncs portfolio value into
`account_balances`
- `IndexaCapitalController` — Token validation + connection creation
- `ConnectIndexaCapitalRequest` — Form request validation
- Migration adding encrypted `api_token` column to `banking_connections`
## Test plan
- [x] 6 controller tests (connect, invalid token, mapping, feature flag,
validation, multi-account)
- [x] 4 balance sync tests (sync, update, skip, missing field)
- [x] 3 sync job tests (balance-only, no expire, no email for Indexa)
- [x] 1 disconnect test (no revokeSession for Indexa)
- [x] All 530 existing tests still pass
## Summary
- Adds **EnableBanking** as the first open banking provider, allowing
users to connect real bank accounts and automatically sync transactions
and balances
- Uses a **`BankingProviderInterface`** contract so future providers
(Plaid, GoCardless, etc.) can be added by implementing the same
interface
- Feature-flagged behind the **`open-banking`** Pennant flag (default:
off)
- Connected accounts are **unencrypted** and transactions have `source =
'enablebanking'`
### What's included
**Backend:**
- `BankingProviderInterface` contract + `EnableBankingProvider`
implementation (JWT RS256 auth)
- `BankingConnection` model with full lifecycle (pending →
awaiting_mapping → active → expired/revoked/error)
- `TransactionSyncService` — pagination, deduplication by
`external_transaction_id`, amount/date mapping
- `BalanceSyncService` — preferred balance type selection (CLBD → ITAV
fallback)
- Authorization flow: start auth → bank redirect → callback → session
creation → account mapping → sync
- `SyncBankingConnectionJob` (unique per connection, 3 retries) +
scheduled every 6 hours
- `banking:sync` artisan command
- 5 migrations: `banking_connections` table, account fields, transaction
`external_transaction_id`, `pending_accounts_data`, `linked_at`
**Frontend:**
- Manual vs Connected account choice in the create account dialog
- Multi-step bank connection dialog (country → bank selection →
confirmation → redirect)
- Account mapping page — map discovered bank accounts to existing
accounts, create new ones, or skip
- Settings/Connections page with status badges, sync/disconnect actions
- "Connected" badge on linked accounts in settings
**Tests:**
- 49 tests covering feature flags, controllers, account mapping,
transaction sync, balance sync, deduplication, and pagination
### Feature Flags
This PR introduces **two Pennant feature flags**:
1. **`open-banking`** — Gates the entire open banking feature
(institutions endpoint, authorization flow, connections page). When
disabled, all open banking routes return 404.
2. **`account-mapping`** — Controls whether users see an intermediate
account mapping step after connecting a bank. When **enabled**, users
are redirected to a mapping page where they can choose to create new
accounts, link to existing ones, or skip each discovered bank account.
When **disabled**, all discovered accounts are automatically created
(original behavior). Linked accounts only sync transactions from their
last transaction date and only update the current balance from the
provider (no historical balance calculation or daily balance tracking).
Enable per-user:
```bash
php artisan feature:enable open-banking user@example.com
php artisan feature:enable account-mapping user@example.com
```
Enable for all users:
```bash
php artisan feature:enable open-banking all
php artisan feature:enable account-mapping all
```
## Test plan
- [x] Enable feature flag: `php artisan feature:enable open-banking`
- [x] Verify "Connected" option appears in create account dialog
- [x] Start authorization flow and verify redirect to bank
- [x] With `account-mapping` **disabled**: verify callback creates
accounts directly and dispatches sync
- [x] With `account-mapping` **enabled**: verify callback redirects to
mapping page
- [x] Test mapping page: create new, link to existing, and skip actions
- [x] Verify linked accounts sync only from last transaction date and
only update current balance
- [x] Verify connections page shows "Setup Required" badge for
awaiting_mapping status
- [x] Run `php artisan banking:sync` and verify transactions sync
- [x] Verify connections page shows status, sync, and disconnect actions
- [x] Run full test suite: `php artisan test --compact`
