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

How often does TSB sync to Actual Budget?

Syncs are event-driven: Akahu notifies Redbark via webhooks and regular refreshes when new TSB 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 TSB connection read-only?

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

Does Redbark store my TSB data?

No. Redbark uses a pass-through architecture: your TSB 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 and New Zealand banks like TSB?

Actual ships GoCardless, Pluggy.ai and SimpleFIN, none of which covered Australia or New Zealand. Redbark implements SimpleFIN with Akahu open banking data, so Actual reaches TSB through the provider it already has.

Where does my TSB data live?

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

TSB transactions in Actual Budget

Actual pulls TSB 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.

Get started

Sync TSB to Actual Budget in three steps

Connect TSB

Link your TSB accounts to Redbark through Akahu open banking, then generate a SimpleFIN setup token in Settings.

Configure SimpleFIN in Actual

In Actual, open Settings, scroll to Bank Sync, and set up SimpleFIN. Paste the Redbark setup token and save. Actual claims it once and keeps its own private credentials.

Link your accounts

Click Link bank account, pick the TSB accounts you want, and give each one a starting date and opening balance. Actual pulls transactions from there on.
