Use of Third Party Bank Account Aggregation Services

When completing a loan application, you have the option of using our Third Party Bank Account Aggregation Supplier to send us details about your bank accounts, and verification of your identity. Our current suppliers are miiCard Limited and its sub-contractor Yodlee (Yodlee, Inc) or such other persons as stated on the applications page of our Website. The supplier will require you to log in to your on-line bank account information via that supplier’s or its sub-contractor’s service, so that they can retrieve your financial information and verification of your identity from your on-line account. The supplier may capture your log-in credentials solely to provide this service, and will encrypt them and store them securely for a limited period required to provide the service. The supplier will aggregate or re-present your financial information and supply it to us, for the purposes described in our privacy policy [here].

In electing the option, you authorise us and our suppliers to collect and use your bank account and identification information in these ways, and that you are not acting on behalf of any other person in providing such authorisation. You also acknowledge that we and the suppliers will rely on your authorisation and confirmation.
