ākahu is New Zealand’s consumer data sharing platform.
We build and maintain data integrations with bank, kiwisaver, investment, utility, and telco providers. We bundle those integrations for developers as a SaaS product.
ākahu’s purpose is to empower individuals to gracefully manage and leverage their personal data. We work with reputable third party developers who deliver that purpose through their products.
ākahu puts you in control of your personal data. We make it simple to access the data that organisations hold about you, and to share that data with trusted third parties of your choice.
Connect your data to organisations that are delivering amazing new customer experiences.
View and manage how your data is shared. See requests to your data in real time.
Know the difference between an API and an IPA? Access your data via your personal API.
ākahu APIs enable your customers to seamlessly connect their data to your app. Your customers can consent to sharing their identity, usage, balance, and transaction data. They can also consent to initiating payments directly from your app. No one else provides this functionality within New Zealand.
Over 50 integrations with New Zealand bank, Kiwisaver, investment, utility, telco, and other providers.
Best-in-class infrastructure, security, and data privacy. Live integrations used in-market since 2017.
Simple APIs, with developer-friendly documentation and support.
ākahu's range of APIs are split into those that require one-off consumer consent, and those that require enduring consumer consent. Our team is here to help you navigate the options and make decisions about the right consumer data to power your use cases.
