Is Great Southern Bank supported?

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

How often does Great Southern Bank sync to Actual Budget?

Syncs are event-driven: Great Southern Bank 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 Great Southern Bank 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 Great Southern Bank accounts.

Does Redbark store my Great Southern Bank data?

No. Redbark uses a pass-through architecture: your Great Southern Bank 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 Great Southern Bank?

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

Where does my Great Southern Bank data live?

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