86 400 has partnered with Envestnet | Yodlee and adopted its platform, which will enable the neobank’s customers to see all their accounts in a central location.

According to Envestnet | Yodlee, the partnership will enable financial data access to over 100 financial institutions across Australia, and the ability for 86 400 customers to have control over their data.

Commenting on the partnership, Envestnet | Yodlee country manager for Australia and New Zealand Tim Poskitt said: “Consumers don’t have to wait for open banking to access and use their own data. Envestnet | Yodlee’s data aggregation enables consumers to link their financial accounts with tools and products that deliver better financial outcomes. That’s what 86 400’s products provide.”

According to Mr Poskitt, Envestnet | Yodlee’s experience with varying degrees of open banking regulation across global markets has highlighted the importance of consumer control of data.

He added that while competitive markets could ultimately benefit consumers, they are dependent on a consumer’s ability to link their financial data from one provider to another.

“Open banking is about providing consumers with real choice to select the products that best support their financial situation,” Mr Poskitt said.

“It’s this choice that ultimately leads to better financial outcomes. 86 400 is ahead of the curve in a market still coming to grips with the Consumer Data Right and open banking. We look forward to continuing to work with 86 400 to supercharge the financial lives of Australian consumers.”
