We provide a broad range of open finance solutions for New Zealand. Our customers include lenders and brokers, Government services, accounting solutions, personal finance tools, payroll services, and much more.
Akahu's API supports both one-off and ongoing account connectivity. Our team is here to help you navigate the options to power your use cases.
Once a bank account is connected, you can initiate a payment with a simple API call. It's an order of magnitude cheaper than cards, faster to settle, simple to reconcile, and convenient for users.
Request one-off or ongoing access to transactions, balances, and account metadata. Aggregate information from bank, investment, KiwiSaver, and other financial accounts.
Banks hold a trove of data about us. They collect our identity details, record our transaction data, and maintain our account balances. You can use this data for KYC, AML, and other compliance use cases.
Akahu's transaction enrichment engine can be used as a standalone API endpoint, without needing connected accounts. Just pass in a raw transaction description, and get back the trading name, category, logo, location, and more.
Akahu Apply is a web interface for loan applicants, lenders, and brokers. Users can connect accounts or upload PDF bank statements, then the data is converted into an enriched dataset and report to make decisioning fast and accurate.
Give us a call, and we can explore the use cases that are relevant to your product or business.
We’re solely focussed on providing the open finance solutions in New Zealand.
Our aim is to make it simple and secure to build on top of our infrastructure.
The fastest way to get started is to create a sandboxed personal app. This will grant you instant API access to your own accounts.
If you’re ready to create a full app for testing with multiple users, just get in touch and we’ll send you credentials.
We love hearing about your ideas and requirements. If you want us to extend or modify our API, just ask and we promise a fast response so you're not left wondering.
