ℹ️ Kindly note that Checkboard does not see or store any of your credentials.

When you choose to link your bank through Open Banking, you will be redirected from the Checkboard app onto your online banking portal.

Your bank will then send us a read-only summary bank statement to include in your report after you log in and successfully authenticate with your bank. This includes the top 20 debits and credits and 6 months of full bank statements.

To learn more about why an organisation has requested bank statements on your check, we recommend contacting them directly or checking out our helpful guide.

🔒 Why would I trust Checkboard with this information?

Checkboard was created to safeguard businesses against fraud, money laundering, and online crime.

Our first goal is to protect your data and you. We are subject to Financial Conduct Authority regulation, and hundreds of UK law firms, real estate companies, and PropTech partners rely on our technology.


How long can Checkboard request this information?

Checkboard is able to make further read-only summary statement requests for 90 days in accordance with the Open Banking industry standard.

Please be aware that once we ask for the first summary statement, we won't ask for anything further until you ask for it.

You may also cancel the permission at any moment by swiping left on the related accounts.
