What it is
Open Banking lets you share your bank data securely with trusted apps — only when you say so.
It gives you more control and makes flows faster and safer.
Why Checkboard uses it
We use Open Banking to verify your finances securely.
No more uploading bank statements — connect your account through your bank’s own system.
It’s fast, secure, and fully regulated.
Why it’s safe
✅ Bank-level security: Your login details stay with your bank.
✅ FCA-regulated: Only approved providers can use Open Banking.
✅ You’re in control: Choose what to share, with whom, and for how long.
✅ Protected by law: Fraud? You’re covered by your bank and the Financial Ombudsman.
Are you opted in automatically?
❌ No. You choose.
Open Banking only works when you give permission.
How to stay in control
You can stop sharing anytime in your bank’s app or website.
Checkboard will never ask for your login details or share your data without consent.

Over 6 million UK users trust Open Banking.
You stay in control.
It’s fast, secure, and regulated.
Open Banking helps Checkboard verify your details safely — and gives you peace of mind.
How Long the Connection Lasts
When you connect your bank, you give permission for up to 90 days, as per Open Banking standards.
During this time, Checkboard can only make read-only summary requests — and only if needed for your ongoing checks.
We won’t request additional data unless you ask for it.
You can cancel access anytime by swiping left on the connected account inside Checkboard.
Quick Recap
You connect through your bank’s secure system — not through Checkboard.
Checkboard gets read-only data, never your login.
Data sharing lasts up to 90 days and can be revoked anytime.
Checkboard is FCA-regulated and used by trusted UK law firms and property professionals.
