How we handle security

‍

When you connect your accounts to BudgetBuddie, your security is our top priority.

‍

We use Akahu, New Zealand’s trusted open banking platform, to manage all connections. All data is encrypted end-to-end and BudgetBuddie never sees or stores your online banking or platform passwords.

‍

Once connected, BudgetBuddie accesses read-only information including balances, transactions, and account details so we can never move money or make changes to your accounts, ever. You can view and revoke access to any connection at any time via the connect accounts feature.
