Empowering consumers
Akoya’s 100% API-connected data access network ensures that consumers never share login credentials (e.g., username and password) with any third-party application, making for a better, more reliable consumer experience. Our model allows consumers to provide explicit consent to share data with each third-party app, along with the ability to easily monitor sharing and revoke consent at any time. Consumers control access to their data, not Akoya.
Partnering across the ecosystem
We work with more than 4,000 financial institutions, including small to medium-sized banks and credit unions, aggregators, and fintechs. Our network meets industry standards for data coverage and formats. Akoya does not restrict how data recipients use permissioned data. Data recipients and fintechs are free to provide enrichment and other services to their end clients for customer-permissioned purposes.
Providing next-gen technology
As a leader in the financial data access and sharing space, Akoya’s architecture is built on the most secure and scalable microservices. Akoya upholds our services to the highest security and performance benchmarks in the industry.
Why Akoya was created
Akoya transforms the way people share their data by making it more secure, private, reliable, and transparent.
Protect consumers
People increasingly want to share their financial data with fintech apps to take advantage of services like budgeting, payments, tax planning, and investment management. However, most financial data sharing is done through screen scraping — a process that requires individuals to give their login information (i.e., usernames and passwords) to a third party.
This exposes individuals and their financial institutions to a range of risks and provides little to no visibility into how data is protected or shared.
Stop screen scraping
Eliminate the risks associated with screen scraping and give people a safe, secure, and transparent way to provide access to their financial data. Akoya replaces screen scraping with application programming interfaces (APIs), enabling individuals to share their data with fintech apps using their financial institution’s existing online portal. This eliminates the need for login information to be held and stored by anyone else. Additionally, Akoya provides a simple way for people to grant, modify, or revoke access to their financial data at any time.
Secure data access
Through a single integration with Akoya, financial institutions, fintechs, and data aggregators can enable multiple API connections and avoid continued maintenance and development efforts. Akoya handles all data-sharing relationships on behalf of network participants and removes the myriads of internal and external costs required to develop and manage multiple third-party agreements. The network is an interoperable solution available to the entire financial services industry.
