Follow your data

What happens to your data when you connect a bank?

You approve sharing at your bank. The data is stored in Sydney, we look at it only to fix a problem you report, keep Busybee running and secure, or meet a legal obligation, and it's deleted when you stop sharing or leave.

Step 1 of 5 · Connect

You connect on your bank's own screen.

You choose the accounts to share and approve sharing on your bank's own consent screen. Busybee never sees your banking password.

Step 2 of 5 · Store

Stored in Sydney, encrypted.

Your data is stored in Sydney and encrypted in the database. Our logs never contain your transactions, amounts or merchant names.

Technical detail

The database runs in Sydney and is encrypted at rest. The identifiers that link your account to your bank connection are sealed again with AES-256-GCM and bound to your account, so a copied value can't be opened anywhere else. Requests are handled on Cloudflare's network, which processes them in memory.

Step 3 of 5 · Sign in

Only you get in.

Every account has a password plus a passkey or authenticator app. When someone signs in from a browser we haven't seen, you get an email with a link that ends every session at once.

Technical detail

Passwords are 12 to 128 characters and are checked against passwords known to have leaked. A sign-in needs a password plus a passkey, authenticator code or backup code, or a passkey on its own. A browser you choose to trust skips the second factor for 30 days.

Step 4 of 5 · See

You can see everything we hold.

Settings, Your data shows each bank's consent record, when each sync collected data, and an activity log of changes to your consents and data.

Step 5 of 5 · Leave

Leave any time.

Stop sharing one bank, or delete your account. We end the sharing with your bank first and then delete the data. You can download everything before you go.

Accounts left with no bank connected for 12 months are deleted, with a warning a month before.

What do Busybee emails contain?

Only what you need to act on. Never your money or your name, so an email that's forwarded or read over your shoulder gives nothing away.

What they can include
  • One-time codes
  • Bank names
  • Dates
  • Device descriptions
  • Approximate location
What they never contain
  • Amounts
  • Merchants
