How to connect your First Direct account using Zenith

First Direct with Zenith is a consent-based bank link where Zenith connects your First Direct account to an app after you approve what to share. You authenticate with First Direct, the app gets scoped tokens (not your password), and access stays tied to that consent. It is like a switchboard: many banks on one side, your app on the other, with a single familiar linking flow.
