Open Banking
Alternative to Moneyhub

By Caolan Preston, CF30 Updated August 2026 5 min read

Moneyhub was one of the original Open Banking aggregators in the UK, connecting users to multiple banks from a single app. With the consumer app closing on 14 August 2026, earmarkIQ provides a direct replacement — connecting to 50+ UK banks via FCA-regulated Open Banking through Finexer, with read-only access (AIS), 256-bit encryption, and support for all major UK banks.

Quick Answer

Moneyhub's consumer app closes on 14 August 2026, taking its Open Banking bank connections with it. The direct replacement for the aggregation side is earmarkIQ — it connects 50+ UK banks through FCA-regulated Open Banking (via Finexer, FRN 925695) with read-only access, and it's free to download on the App Store now. For the full switching walkthrough, see our complete Moneyhub alternative guide.

⚠️ Moneyhub Shutdown Notice

Moneyhub closes its consumer app on 14 August 2026 — the deadline is days away. All Open Banking connections, account aggregation, and transaction data access will become unavailable. Your bank accounts themselves are unaffected — you just need a new app to view them together.

What Moneyhub Offered

Moneyhub was a pioneer in UK Open Banking, operating as an FCA-authorised Account Information Service Provider (AISP). It connected to UK banks, building societies, and credit card providers to aggregate all your financial accounts into a single view. Key capabilities included:

Multi-bank aggregation — See balances and transactions from all your banks in one place.
Transaction history — View and search across all accounts simultaneously.
FCA authorisation — Moneyhub held its own FCA authorisation as an AISP.
Read-only access — No ability to move money or make payments from your accounts.

earmarkIQ’s Open Banking

earmarkIQ provides the same core Open Banking capability through a partnership with Finexer (FCA firm reference 925695). earmarkIQ is an agent of Finexer Ltd, meaning all bank connections are fully regulated and compliant with UK Open Banking standards.

🔒

Read-Only Access (AIS)

earmarkIQ uses Account Information Services only. We can see your balances and transactions but cannot move money or make payments without separate authorisation.

🏛️

FCA Regulated

agent of Finexer Ltd (FRN 925695). All bank connections are regulated under the Payment Services Regulations 2017.

🔐

256-Bit Encryption

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using AES-256 encryption — the same standard used by UK banks themselves.

🛡️

No Credential Sharing

You never share your bank login details with earmarkIQ. Authentication happens directly with your bank via their secure Open Banking gateway.

📋

ICO Registered

earmarkIQ is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (CSN2001882) and fully compliant with UK GDPR.

No Data Selling

earmarkIQ never sells your financial data to third parties. Your data is used only to provide the earmarkIQ service to you.

Once connected, earmarkIQ does more with the data than a plain aggregator: AI transaction classification sorts every transaction automatically, and recurring payments are detected so you can see every subscription and any price rises in one place — see our UK subscription tracking guide for how that works.

Supported Banks

earmarkIQ connects to 50+ UK banks via Finexer, including all the major high street banks, digital banks, and building societies:

High street banks: Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, Santander, Halifax, Bank of Scotland, RBS, TSB, Nationwide.

Download earmarkIQ from the App Store and connect each bank account via Open Banking. The process is the same as Moneyhub — select your bank, authenticate with your bank’s app, and authorise read-only access.

Revoke Moneyhub’s access

After you’ve migrated to earmarkIQ, revoke Moneyhub’s Open Banking permissions via each bank’s app or website. Most banks have this under Settings > Connected Apps or Third-Party Access.
