Connect Westpac to Fireball.

Fireball works with Westpac through Akahu, New Zealand's open banking platform. Your Westpac 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 Westpac

  1. 1. Open Accounts

    In the Fireball app, go to Accounts and choose to connect a bank or platform.

  2. 2. Pick Westpac

    Akahu opens a secure screen where you sign in to Westpac and choose which accounts to share.

  3. 3. Watch it fill in

    Up to 12 months of transactions arrive when you first connect. New ones keep syncing automatically.

What Westpac brings to Fireball

Westpac shares these accounts through open banking:

  • Everyday
  • Savings
  • Credit cards
  • Loans
  • Term deposits
  • Some Westpac credit card types are not shared yet.
  • If you hold an extra card on someone else's credit card account, only the account owner can connect it to Fireball.

Net worth

Westpac balances sit next to KiwiSaver, investments and property.
