Frequently Asked Questions
About Finarkein
Finarkein builds the technology that helps financial institutions use consented financial data. We help lenders, insurers, wealth platforms and data providers plug into India's Account Aggregator ecosystem and other open networks, and turn that data into decisions, products and customer journeys.
A Technology Service Provider builds and runs the systems that let regulated entities (banks, NBFCs, insurers, AMCs) participate in the Account Aggregator network without building everything in-house. We handle integration, orchestration and analytics so our clients can go live faster.
Banks, NBFCs, fintechs, lending service providers, insurers and wealth platforms, on both sides of the data exchange: those who request data (FIUs) and those who provide it (FIPs).
Account Aggregator basics
It is an RBI-regulated framework that lets individuals and businesses share their financial data securely between institutions, only with their explicit consent, and only for the purpose and duration they approve.
Data moves only with the customer's consent, and the customer can see, pause or revoke that consent at any time. Data is encrypted end to end within the AA network.
Yes. Depending on the consent the customer gives, data can be fetched once or on a recurring schedule, which is useful for monitoring and early warning.
Products
A single integration for institutions that want to request and receive consented data through Account Aggregators, covering consent journeys, data fetch and delivery to your systems.

Use cases
Pull bank statements, GST and other financial data with consent, assess income and cash flows faster, and monitor borrowers after disbursal, all without asking customers to upload documents.

Yes. Consented data across bank accounts, deposits and investments gives a complete view of a customer's finances, which powers advice, cross-sell and personal finance experiences like Portfos.
Consent and the customer experience
A simple journey where they choose their accounts, review what data is being shared, why and for how long, and approve it.
Yes. Journeys can be fully white-labelled, or built on our APIs inside your own app.
Customers can share a bank statement instead, and Doc Parser extracts the same structured data from it, so your journey does not stop.
Technology and security
Our systems are built to operate within the RBI Account Aggregator framework and ReBIT technical standards.
We support your DPDP obligations as your data processor, through consent-led data flows, purpose limitation and secure handling.
ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management and SOC 2 Type II for security controls.
An independent auditor has tested that our security controls work consistently over time, not only on a single day.
Depending on the product, we offer both Finarkein-hosted and client-hosted deployment.
