Seeing is not touching

When you connect an account, your bank gives Isobar permission to read balances and transactions. It does not give permission to send payments.

That is not a setting we chose to turn off. It is how the connection is built.

Where your data lives

Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We never sell it, and when you close your account, it goes with you.
