Connect BNZ to Fireball.
Fireball works with BNZ through Akahu, New Zealand's open banking platform. Your BNZ balances and transactions sync into one budget, net worth and FIRE plan. The link is read only, so Fireball can never move money.
How to connect BNZ
1. Open Accounts
In the Fireball app, go to Accounts and choose to connect a bank or platform.
2. Pick BNZ
Akahu opens a secure screen where you sign in to BNZ and choose which accounts to share.
3. Watch it fill in
Up to 12 months of transactions arrive when you first connect. New ones keep syncing automatically.
