How are you connecting to my bank account and accessing my banking data?
We have partnered with RBI-regulated Account Aggregator, Finvu to access to your financial data.
Account aggregators are RBI-regulated companies that have been permitted to allow users to share their financial information in a secure and easy manner. This can include bank accounts, credit card accounts, investment accounts, and more.
Unlike some other apps, we do not scrape your messages or emails, to access your transactions. We rely on account aggregators, which only shares your financial information with us, after you give your consent. You can always revoke your consent, and also delete your data from Fold at any time.
Apart from Bank Accounts AA also allows sharing of data from other financial institutions, like insurance companies and mutual fund providers. This means every aspect of your financial life can be seen, tracked and used to make better financial decisions from a single app, Fold. Insurance and Mutual Funds will soon be available for connection on Fold, currently they are a work in progress.
We are very excited about the future of AA and all the new features that it will allow us to bring to you. You can read more about AA here.

4. Miscellaneous

‣
Is Fold a free app? Is it going to free forever?
Fold is free during the beta. But it is not going to be free forever, because if a product isn’t taking money from you for the service it provides, it’s taking something else. And on most occasions you don’t know what that ā€œelseā€ is. Our method is as simple as it gets, we’ll take your money and give you a great product, something that’ll provide 100 folds more value than what you pay. We’ll be able to share more on this as we get out of beta, polish and make Fold pay-worthy.
‣

5. Privacy & Deleting the Account

‣
What is my data used for? How long do you store my data?
Your data will only be used to provide you with services on the Fold app. We do not sell/or share your data with any third parties, other than as required to provide you services you consent to. You can read more about this in our Privacy Policy.
‣
Can the Account Aggregator view my data? How is my data kept secure?
No, it is not possible for an AA to view Fold’s customer data. Account aggregators are required by RBI to be ā€˜data blind’, and should be seen as ā€˜consent managers’.
The account aggregators receive an encrypted copy of your financial information by your financial institution, and cannot view your financial information. Once Fold receives your financial data, only Fold can decrypt and use it for our app. This ensures, that your data is kept secure, and cannot be accessed by the account aggregator.
‣
Can I delete all my data?
Yes, tap on You in the navigation bar, then tap on the gear icon to go the Settings and tap on Delete Account to delete of all your data. Note that we will retain certain data which is required to fulfill our legal and contractual obligations. You can read more about this in our Privacy Policy.
‣
Why does my balance/transactions do not match with my bank app?
Your financial data is synced twice daily (this may change in the future) to keep track of your transactions, therefore, some transactions may appear on the app after the next daily sync.
For example, if you spend INR 100 on Uber at 3 pm, the transaction will be viewable on the app after the next daily refresh. However, some banks share data with a lag of few days. Please see here a list of supported banks and known issues. If your issue is not discussed there, please write to us.
‣
Why are some of my transactions missing?
We get the financial information displayed here from your bank, it is possible that your bank is providing us inaccurate/incomplete information. Please see here a list of supported banks and known issues. If your issue is not discussed there, please write to us.
‣
Can I delete my Fold account or reset all my data and start fresh again with the same Fold account/number?
No. We delete all the data so you will have to create a new account again, and will require a fresh invite code to access the app.
‣
Do I lose all my data if I unlink the bank or uninstall/reset the app?
When you unlink a bank we delete all data associated with the bank account. However, if you only uninstall the app or clear it’s data from your mobile settings, we will not delete your data. Once you login you should be able to see all your data.
