To protect consumers, and small businesses, the regulator (FCA) has stipulated that any consent granted that allows the sharing of information from bank accounts can only remain open for 90-days. If consent is required for longer than this period, the consumer (or small business) must re-consent.
Therefore, we are currently not able to keep the connections to your external accounts open without seeking your periodic consent.
What we have done, to make the process as non-intrusive as possible, is to prompt you only when needed, and allow you to renew consent with a tap on your phone.
