Is SBS Bank supported?

Yes. SBS Bank connects through Akahu, the New Zealand open banking platform, so you can link your accounts and start syncing in minutes.

How often does SBS Bank sync to Sure?

Syncs are event-driven: Akahu notifies Redbark via webhooks and regular refreshes when new SBS Bank data is available, and your Sure updates soon after, within a few hours of a transaction posting, with no fixed polling schedule.

Is my SBS Bank connection read-only?

Yes. Akahu connections are read-only. Redbark can read transactions and balances, and can never move money or change your SBS Bank accounts.

Does Redbark store my SBS Bank data?

No. Redbark uses a pass-through architecture: your SBS Bank transactions are proxied live to Sure. 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.

Do I need to run a container for SBS Bank?

No. Sure supports Redbark natively from v0.7.3-alpha.6, so an API key is all it takes. The older sure-sync container still works for existing setups but is no longer the recommended path.

Where does my SBS Bank data live?

In your own Sure instance. Redbark proxies SBS Bank data live at sync time and keeps no copy of your balances or transactions.

SBS Bank transactions in self-hosted Sure

Sure talks to Redbark directly for SBS Bank balances and transactions on every sync, deduplicating by Redbark transaction ID. The first sync pulls 90 days of history, then it runs incrementally with a 7 day lookback.
