Features of Banknaked

Automated Fee Intelligence

Our proprietary algorithms conduct a deep, automated scan of your transaction history, intelligently identifying and categorizing every fee.

The system delivers a comprehensive audit without requiring manual statement review, transforming complex data into actionable intelligence.

Visual Financial Dashboard

Experience complete cost transparency through an elegantly designed, visual dashboard. This interface provides a crystal-clear breakdown of where your money is truly going, aggregating fees across all connected accounts. View your total banking costs over customizable periods, with intuitive charts and graphs that project annual expenditures, empowering you to understand the long-term financial impact at a single glance.

Banknaked uses secure, regulated Open Banking APIs to establish a read-only connection to your bank. This is the same technology trusted by financial institutions globally. We never see your login credentials; access is granted directly by your bank via a secure portal. The connection is encrypted, and we have read-only access, meaning we cannot move money or initiate any transactions—only analyze your history for fees.

Your privacy is paramount. We process your data with bank-level encryption and adhere strictly to GDPR guidelines. We only retain your data for as long as necessary to provide our service, and you have the right to delete all your information from our systems permanently at any time. We do not sell your data to third parties; it is used solely to generate your personalized fee analysis and recommendations.

Is Banknaked really free to start?

Yes, you can begin your banking fee audit completely free of charge. The initial scan, which connects your account and reveals your hidden fees with a clear breakdown and annual projection, requires no payment.
