Akahu’s purpose is to give people control of their data.
We do that by providing a simple way to connect your financial accounts to the apps and services you love.
Below you’ll find information about how we provide this account connectivity while keeping security and privacy as core priorities.
You choose whether to connect your accounts to other products, and you can disconnect accounts at any time.
If you’ve given ongoing account access to another product via Akahu, you can login to MyAkahu for visibility and control of that connection. You can also delete your data from Akahu at any time.
Akahu will obtain your consent before carrying out any instruction regarding your accounts.
We do not sell or rent your data for research or marketing purposes. Your data is shared with the apps that you explicitly grant access to, and is not sold to other parties.
Security is the highest priority at Akahu when designing our products and processes. We handle all data as if it’s our own (we all use Akahu, so some of it is).
Akahu has been independently certified as compliant with ISO 27001:2022, a global standard for information security management.

We use modern cloud services (AWS) in order to leverage their world leading infrastructure and security controls.
We use modern encryption standards like AES 256 and TLS to keep your data safe and private.
We carry out regular internal and external security testing.
Some open finance platforms allow apps to collect your login credentials. If you connect your financial accounts to an app via Akahu, the app will never handle your credentials.
