What is Budget Insight?

Budget Insight is a banking API aggregator: one integration model so apps can reach many institutions with user consent. We list about 37 institutions in this directory; your app’s real coverage can still differ by product and market. For a simple mental model, Budget Insight is like a power strip for financial data: many banks share one interface, and your product plugs in once.
