SmartMoneyBudget currently does not:

At this time:
- We do not access users' online banking accounts.

Your responsibility
Users are solely responsible for:
- Information entered into the platform
- Information uploaded to the platform
- Ensuring information is accurate and current
The accuracy of reports and calculations relies on information supplied by the user.
Any budgeting information generated by the platform is based solely on information entered or uploaded by users.
Future connectivity
Future versions of SmartMoneyBudget may introduce secure bank connectivity features after the necessary legal approvals, compliance requirements, security controls, and regulatory obligations have been satisfied.
Until such features are implemented, users remain in control of the information they choose to upload, helping maintain privacy and security.
