Understanding Connections &Data AggregationThe power of your portal comes from what it connects.Your Personal Financial Website uses data aggregation to automatically pull information fromyour linked accounts—banking, credit cards, investments, loans, and more—so you can see yourfull financial life in one place. These real-time connections allow you (and us) to monitor yourprogress, update your plan, and make confident decisions.This section explains:How account connections work behind the scenesWhat to expect when linking and refreshing accountsCommon reasons an account might need attentionTips to keep your connections running smoothlyWhether you’re connecting a major institution or a smaller provider, this guide helps ensure thatyour data stays accurate and your financial picture stays complete.
We aggregate data to consolidate all your accounts into one view on your Personal Financial Website—likeyour checking account, 401(k), and investment account balances—so you can easily monitor your financeswhile we create an accurate financial plan based on real-time data.Though your Personal Financial Website already employs rigorous data security practices beyond mostindustry standards, we’re always looking for ways to continue to reduce risk. So we’re leading the charge inadapting API-based aggregation. Unlike traditional aggregation methods, APIs do not rely on your usernameand password for access. They’re built in partnership with your financial institutions and create a secure andreliable channel for transporting financial data.In the immediate future, you may be required to take a small action when your connection transitions to anAPI. While each API will have a slightly different process for authorization based on the financial institution’sprocess—the basic process will remain the same. When the API becomes available, the connection will show an error on your Accounts page. Simply go to Organizer > Accounts and follow the instructions on the connected account to re-establish the link through the API.Data aggregation is an engine that simplifies and clarifies multiple sources of data into one complete picture.But how is it used in your Personal Financial Website—and why should you care about it?As digital threats like data breaches continue to grow, financial institutions are looking for ways to protectinvestors’ sensitive data by adding new and enhanced security measures. In addition, the Consumer FinancialProtection Bureau (CFPB) has outlined a clear set of principles financial technology companies must abide bywhen it comes to handling consumer data. All these changes are driving the fintech industry to find new waysto minimize risk when aggregating data. For many, this means adopting a more secure method of aggregatingdata through APIs. We fully support this push toward heightened security across the industry and, as such, areadopting our own methods of safe, secure data aggregation.DATA AGGREGATION 101What You Need to Know About ConnectionsHow Will This Affect Me?How Is My Technology Responding?Why Is Data Aggregation Important?What’s Changing in Data Aggregation?That’s it! Once you’re connected through the API, you’ll experience increasedreliability, security, and more control over your data.
Risk of Screen ScrapingScreen scraping, while commonly used, does have a few risks and challenges.What Is Data Aggregation?Data aggregation is the process of gathering digital information– like your checking account, 401(k), andinvestment account balances–from a variety of separate sources to combine the data into a unified set. YourPersonal Financial Website uses Connections to aggregate your financial account information, allowing us tobuild a financial plan with all your information in mind. At eMoney we use three different data aggregationmethods to collect your important financial data.Data Aggregation Methods:Parsers or Screen Scraping:Screen scraping is a common method used in the data aggregation process and refers to thecollection and transfer of data from one application to another. When you log into your PersonalFinancial Website and submit your log-in credentials, parsers “scrape” or copy financial data tobring it all together in one view.Bulk File Feed or Direct Feed:Direct Feeds are typically used for advisor-based connections and involve eMoney directlyreceiving files from an outside institution. Direct feeds are used for the transmission of large setsof data. Our system processes the data from those files on a regular schedule. 1.Security Concerns: Screen scraping relies on you sharing your log-in credentials with your Personal Financial Website, which copies your data from your financial institution. We uphold the strictest security standards to protect your information and keep your login credentials private.2. Broken Parsers and Connection Errors: Using your credentials can be tricky for parsers—there are things like multi-factor authentication that make it difficult to maintain the connection day over day, resulting in the need to update credentials every time you want to get refreshed data. Connections can break from time to time and we see this most frequently in screen scraping or parser connections. Parsers are essentially built for a specific page layout for a specific institution, so if that institution updates their website in any way, the parser will break, requiring eMoney to rebuild that parser. We rely on the institution to provide the updated page layout, which in many cases can take a significant amount of time.1PERSONAL FINANCIAL WEBSITEYour Guide to Data Aggregation
2Benefit of APIs:API Connections:An API, or application program interface, allow two systems to interact and connect with each other in asecure way to create a streamlined flow of data.The Transition to APIs:We continually push ourselves to set new standards and over the past few years, eMoney has worked totransition several of our parser connections to APIs due to the added security and reliability they provide.Today, more than 90% of accounts aggregated are via API or bulk file. Is My Data Protected?We have never sold client data, and we never will. Some data aggregators use client financialinformation regarding spending habits, income, and other transactional data for advertising.Know that eMoney has never and will never share your data with advertisers. We believe thatyour data is private and should always remain under your control.How Will This Affect My Personal Financial Website?You may have already noticed that some of your connections have been converted from screen scraping toAPIs. If your connection has been converted to an APIbased connection, there may be a few actions you needto take to establish the new API connection. Typically, you will receive an error prompting you to re-enteryour credentials for that institution. You may be re-directed to the institution’s website to log-in directly andauthorize eMoney to access to your data. Once the new API connection is established, things like multi-factorauthentication and password changes will not impact your connection.1. 2. Security: APIs offer a more secure way to collect and copy data because they do not require access tologin credentials, which means no transactions can be made. Think of APIs as offering “view only” accessto account data.Reliability: With traditional screen scraping methods, your access to your data may be disrupted by password changes, or changes an institution makes to its website, which may require screen scraping logic to be adjusted. By aggregating data through APIs, you have more reliable access to your data as they are not impacted by institution changes like these.
