Company Background Information
Overview
Akahu maintains deeply functional data integrations with NZ banks and other financial institutions. We bundle those integrations into a simple API for developers. Akahu supports the development of Consumer Data Rights in New Zealand, and we intend to evolve our integrations into that purpose-built regulatory regime when it rolls out and matures. Akahu's journey began when Ben Lynch was working in the bank feeds team at Xero in 2013. He grew frustrated with the unreliable intermediary data integrations that were used to fetch transaction data into Xero, and decided to build integrations for his personal bank accounts. That side project turned into a full time project called Jude, where the data integrations were used to power features like account aggregation, round-up, and sweeping. Then In December 2020, the data integrations were transferred into a new company called Akahu, and became available as an API product to external developers.
