These services require the use of a variety of user data collected through a technology called “account aggregation. The Account Aggregation team is developing a system that collects data from various financial services such as banks, credit cards, and securities. This system is also the basis for many of the services provided by MoneyForward. The data we collect becomes even more valuable information through our products, and is then returned to users.
