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

Fold is free during the beta. But it is not going to be free forever, because if a product isnāt taking money from you for the service it provides, itās taking something else. And on most occasions you donāt know what that āelseā is. Our method is as simple as it gets, weāll take your money and give you a great product, something thatāll provide 100 folds more value than what you pay. Weāll be able to share more on this as we get out of beta, polish and make Fold pay-worthy.

No, it is not possible for an AA to view Foldās customer data. Account aggregators are required by RBI to be ādata blindā, and should be seen as āconsent managersā.
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.

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.
