We understand that by linking your financial accounts with Surveyz, you are trusting us with your data. We sometimes get questions about whether it’s safe to link your accounts and share your data with Surveyz, so we’ve put together this summary to explain how linking works, and how we protect your account and data.
How we link your accounts
We use Open Banking, also known as the Consumer Data Right (CDR), to securely link your spending accounts. This new technology gives you full control over who can access your financial data and for what purpose. Through our partnership with Mastercard, you can safely connect your accounts directly from your bank using their trusted, government-accredited CDR connection.
We cannot transact with your account
When you link your accounts, that allows us to establish a secure connection with your institution to fetch data in a read-only format. We cannot login to your account or transact on your behalf.
Why link?
We use spending patterns to select groups of members for research - e.g. grocery buyers, gym junkies or coffee lovers. Members that link their main accounts receive more surveys, qualify for more surveys, earn double pay for every survey, and have more opportunities to earn.
We cannot transact with your account
When you link your accounts via Consumer Data Right powered by Mastercard Open Banking, that allows us to fetch data in a read-only format to select you for surveys relevant to you.
Security is our #1 priority
The security of your account and data is our #1 priority. Our team at Surveyz are also app users, so we require the same level of assurances that you do that your account and data is safe and protected in the same way as data in the most highly regulated organisations around the world.
