4. Your Spending

In order to give you a picture of your spending, we need access to your financial information from your bank. 

Your financial information

We need access to your financial information from your bank accounts to be able to build an accurate picture of your income and expenditure. This is  so we can accurately calculate your potential savings . The easiest way to do this is by signing up with our Open Banking Provider; they enable you to share your financial information with us securely and directly from your bank account (see section 5 below for more details).  Otherwise you will need to manually enter your financial information.

 

5. Our partners

We have teamed up with innovative companies like OpenWrks, our Open Banking Provider,[1] to provide you with our Services.

OpenWrks is a data platform, authorised and regulated by the FCA under reference number 709589. We use OpenWrks to enable you to share your financial information with us securely and directly from your bank account so we can understand your spending patterns without you having to manually upload your bank statements. OpenWrks' terms and conditions can be found here.

There may be occasions where we advertise or suggest third party products and/or services to you, which you are free to purchase or not at your sole discretion. In the event that you do choose to purchase a third party product and/or service which we have advertised or suggested, please note that we may receive a financial commission or other benefit as a result of our referral of you to the third party.

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND that we do not have any control over any third party products and/or services (including OpenWrks’ services) and as such, we cannot be liable for any failure of such products and/or services.  We therefore strongly encourage you to fully read and understand any third party terms and conditions before agreeing to them.

YOU, THE CUSTOMER, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO REPRESENTATION HAS BEEN MADE BY US AS TO THE FITNESS OF THE THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES FOR YOUR INTENDED PURPOSE.
