Open Banking
Alternative to Moneyhub

By Caolan Preston, CF30 April 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.

⚠️ Moneyhub Shutdown Notice

Moneyhub closes its consumer app on 14 August 2026. 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 FCA Appointed Representative of Finexer, 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

FCA Appointed Representative 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.

High street banks: Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, Santander, Halifax, Bank of Scotland, RBS, TSB, Nationwide.
Digital banks: Monzo, Starling, Revolut, Chase UK, Atom Bank.
Building societies: Yorkshire, Coventry, Skipton, Leeds, and more.

✦ Beyond Read-Only: Payment Initiation

earmarkIQ also supports Payment Initiation Services (PIS) through Finexer. This means you can optionally authorise earmarkIQ to move money between your accounts — for example, automatically sweeping savings to a high-interest account on payday. Moneyhub’s consumer app was read-only and didn’t offer this.

Migration Guide: 3 Simple Steps

Note which banks you had connected to Moneyhub

Before 14 August 2026, make a list of all the bank accounts, credit cards, and savings accounts you had connected in Moneyhub. This makes reconnecting in earmarkIQ quick and easy.

Sign up for earmarkIQ and connect your banks

Download earmarkIQ (launching iOS May 2026) 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.
