So, What is Open Accounting?

Opening Accounting is the new golden child in financial services - and for good reason! It enables third parties, including banks, fintechs and alternative lenders, to source up to date financial data to provide an accurate picture of each and every business they work with. The benefit of this is that products and services can be catered exactly to a business’s needs, with more bespoke options available than ever before.
However, it's important to add that this data can only be accesses with express permission from the customer and it can be revoked at any time, should the customer change their mind.

What are the benefits of Open Accounting?

1. It provides data that third parties can use to create truly bespoke solutions
2. It provides real time access
3. It shows the current health and wealth of a business
4. Transactions are already categorized

SEEING THE WHOLE PICTURE

Isn't banking data the be all and end all?

    We don't need Open Accounting, as Open Banking does the job

    Similar to Open Banking – a service that enables finance providers to access a business' banking information securely and safely – Open Accounting enables businesses to permit Trusted Third-Parties (TTPs) access to the data contained in their accounting ledgers.

    Simply put, Open Accounting means that Fintechs like Pulse can get a 360° view into the current financial health of a business to offer the right products and services to each business.

    Open Accounting is not worth the effort

    Open Accounting is so much simpler than it sounds. It's not complicated for lenders or the businesses granting access, either. The journey is effortless, which is why this is becoming part and parcel of every day business lending. Fintech is always focused on innovation and streamlining processes wherever possible – and that's exactly what Open Accounting does!

    To do what Pulse does, we need access to the data stored within your accounting package. But remember, it's not compulsory. We can't (and would never) force any business to provide access to their accounting data. The control is all yours and you can revoke access at any point!

    Open Accounting poses a data privacy risk

    In simple terms, no, it doesn't. Open Accounting is completely safe and was designed with data privacy in mind.

    Fintechs like Pulse cannot access any data within an accounting package without the business first granting third party, read only access. You'll never, ever be opted in – you must always give clear consent before we're able to view your accounting data.
