FAQs

Why are you asking me to connect my bank account?

Gathering and proving financial information is difficult and time-consuming. Our service will allow you to do this and send information quickly and securely to make your life easier.

Will you get access to my money or be able to change anything?

No. You only give us permission to view your transactions and account information and we cannot do anything else. We do not and can not move money, make payments or control your account in any way. We don’t get access to your logins, and you can remove our access at any time.

Where will you send my information?

Nowhere, unless you tell us to. We won’t send your information anywhere without your consent and we will only send it to organisations you choose. You will see the information that will be shared and will be asked to confirm that you are happy to share it with your chosen organisations.

Why should I trust you with my information?

Your privacy is important. We use bank level security when getting and sending your information and only gather the requested information, even if your bank makes more available to us. We can only view your information; we cannot make any changes. By using our services you do not breach your banking terms and conditions and you can remove our access at any time.

Are you FCA Regulated?

Yes. We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as an Account Information Service Provider under the Payment Services Regulations 2017. Our Firm Registration Number is 911236.

How long does my consent for you to view my accounts last for?

Once we have gathered the information from your accounts you can choose to close the connection and remove our access. Even if you do not, the maximum time this consent will last for is 90 days, after which we will ask you for permission to connect to the accounts again. You can choose to revoke this consent at any time.

How do you connect to my bank?

We communicate securely with your bank using a system called Open Banking, and your bank will ask you to confirm you are happy for us to see your bank account details before we connect.

Can I use either desktop or mobile?

Yes, though you will need online banking set up and an internet connection. You can click on ‘Get started’ within the email from either your mobile or your desktop. If you have a banking app on your mobile you may find the journey faster, but it is not required.

Why is my bank not available on the list of banks to connect?

Unfortunately some banks are still updating their systems to adopt Open Banking and we are adding them as they come online. Armalytix is currently available for over 98% of UK sterling current accounts. If your bank is not available please contact the organisation that requested your details.

My bank is on the list, but when I try to connect it doesn’t work?

Sometimes, connections to your bank may be down and armalytix will tell you something has gone wrong. This is probably due to maintenance by the banks. Try again in a few hours and if it is still not working please get in touch on [email protected]

Can I add accounts from different banks to my report?

Yes. For those reports where you may need financial information from more than one account, you will be given the option to add another bank.

Why is my savings account not available to connect?

The ability to connect savings accounts can vary from bank to bank as they update their systems. We are working with industry bodies to encourage all banks to allow this. In the meantime, you can still verify your current account and move money around as needed using your normal banking methods.

Can I connect my joint account?

Generally, yes. However, if you are not the primary name on the joint account, some banks may ask you to get approval from the primary name before sharing information. Your bank should show you the process to get this approval when you try to connect. Once you have permission, return to the original invitation email, click ‘Get started’ and login as an ‘Existing user’ with the password you set when you created your account.

Can I use armalytix for my own business?

Yes. Visit our business page to find out more and click ‘Get in touch’ to discuss getting set up.
