FAQ's
What is Open Banking ?
In the UK, all parties involved in providing Open Banking services need to be regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), including iSpent19.
Typical use cases of Open Banking includes consolidating all your bank accounts in one place to allow you to more efficiently control your financial affairs or perhaps helping you compare financial products that you might be interested in signing up for.

Do I share my online banking login credentials with anyone?
You do not share the login credentials of any of your bank that you choose to add to the iSpent19 App. Each bank or credit card account added will be subject to your usual online banking login credential checks.
