Is Bankwest supported?

Yes. Bankwest connects through CDR Open Banking (via Fiskil), so you can link your accounts and start syncing in minutes.

How often does Bankwest sync to Actual Budget?

Syncs are event-driven: Bankwest notifies Redbark via CDR webhooks when new data is available, and your Actual Budget updates soon after, within a few hours of a transaction posting, with no fixed polling schedule.

Is my Bankwest connection read-only?

Yes. Redbark requests read-only access under the CDR. It can read transactions and balances, and can never move money or change your Bankwest accounts.

Does Redbark store my Bankwest data?

No. Redbark uses a pass-through architecture: your Bankwest transactions are proxied live to Actual Budget. We store consent records, encrypted tokens and minimal account metadata, never transaction amounts, descriptions or balances.

Is Redbark independently security tested?

Yes. Redbark was penetration tested in July 2026 by Project Black, a CREST-accredited Australian security firm, covering the web app, REST API, MCP server and admin console. The test returned zero critical and zero high-risk findings, and every finding raised was remediated and confirmed closed on retest.

Does Actual support Australian banks like Bankwest?

Actual ships GoCardless, Pluggy.ai and SimpleFIN, none of which covered Australia. Redbark implements SimpleFIN with CDR Open Banking data, so Actual reaches Bankwest through the provider it already has.

Where does my Bankwest data live?

In your own Actual instance. Redbark proxies Bankwest data live at the moment Actual asks for it and keeps no copy of your balances or transactions.

Bankwest transactions in Actual Budget

Actual pulls Bankwest accounts, balances and transactions straight from Redbark through its built-in SimpleFIN provider. Every transaction carries a stable imported ID, so re-syncs update rather than duplicate.

Connect Bankwest

Link your Bankwest accounts to Redbark through CDR Open Banking, then generate a SimpleFIN setup token in Settings.

Configure SimpleFIN in Actual
