Shared financial data can aid in improving your business operations, boost your profits and cut costs. It’s important to look at the six elements listed below prior to deciding to share your financial information with third party.
1. Verify that the that the Services are Legal
While some use cases (such as closings on mortgages that require on-demand access to a potential lender) work best if the consumer can grant a one-time access, other situations require to be able to access and share huge amounts of information over an extended period of time. No matter what the method it is essential to check the app, company or platform’s reputation and track its history within the industry. Look for reviews on third-party websites, app stores and other media.
2. Think about the range of data Sharing
Experts in the field and consumers agree that financial technology, also referred to as fintech banks and apps must modernize their practices for sharing customer account information to prevent security risks, such as hacking and identity theft. However, they aren’t convinced that this will help, because many people still feel confused by the current approach to data sharing. This can feel patronizing and hinder the possibility of insight.
Fintechs and banks might provide a dashboard that enables customers to control how their account information is shared with the services they use. This could include budgeting apps or credit monitoring software and even tracking mortgages and home values. Wells Fargo and Chase allow customers to view which accounts have been shared with them and track their settings on the dashboard.
