Are you Regulated?
Yes, we're regulated. Coconut is registered with the FCA as an Account Information Services Provider. Only apps and websites regulated by the FCA or European equivalent can use Open Banking.
What provider do you use?
Coconut uses TrueLayer to connect your Payment Accounts to Coconut. TrueLayer is authorised by the FCA as an Authorised Payment Institution (reference number: 793171).
When you connect your Payment Accounts to Coconut, Truelayer gains read-only access to transaction data associated with the connected accounts. This lets Coconut display your account information and transactions within Coconut. All your details are encrypted and protected by bank-level security. Transaction data obtained by TrueLayer is deleted from their system after 1 hour.
What data do you store?
When you connect a banking provider with Coconut we will initially store Account names and numbers for identification purposes. Once an account has been configured with us we will store balances and transactions associated with the account - this is read-only data.
