🔒 How We Protect Your Data

🚪

Secure Connection

All connections to your bank use OAuth 2.0 and TLS 1.3 encryption. We never see or store your banking passwords. Your bank creates a secure, temporary access token that we use to fetch your data.

  • • OAuth 2.0 authentication
  • • TLS 1.3 encryption in transit
  • • No password storage ever
🏰

Data Storage

Your data is stored in encrypted databases with multiple layers of protection. Each user's data is completely isolated and encrypted with unique keys.

  • • AES-256 encryption at rest
  • • Isolated user databases
  • • Regular automated backups
👥

Access Control

Strict access controls ensure only you can see your data. Our engineers cannot access your financial information without explicit permission and comprehensive audit trails.

  • • Multi-factor authentication required
  • • Role-based access controls
  • • Complete audit logging

🏦 Open Banking Security

Open Banking is actually more secure than traditional methods. Here's why.

❌ Old Way (Screen Scraping)

  • • Required sharing your login password
  • • Used screen scraping to grab data
  • • No regulatory oversight
  • • Connection could break anytime
