# Redbark

> Connect Australian bank accounts via CDR open banking

Redbark connects Australian bank accounts to Sure through the [Consumer Data Right](https://www.cdr.gov.au/) (CDR) open banking framework. Data flows one way, from your banks into Sure, using read-only consented access. Your bank credentials are never shared with Redbark or Sure.

## How it works

1. You connect your banks in Redbark through each bank's official consent flow
2. You create a Redbark API key and paste it into Sure
3. Sure pulls your accounts, balances, and transactions from the Redbark API
4. Syncs run automatically to keep your data current

## Setting up Redbark

<Note>
  API access requires a Redbark Developer or Professional plan. It is not available on the Saver plan.
</Note>

1. Sign up at [app.redbark.com](https://app.redbark.com) and connect your bank accounts
2. In Redbark, go to **Settings > API Keys** and create a new key (it is only shown once)
3. In Sure, go to **Settings > Providers**, find the **Redbark** panel, and paste the key
4. Link each bank account to an existing Sure account or create a new one from it

## Features

### Account syncing

* **Account listing**: All connected bank accounts with institution names and logos
* **Balances**: Current balances fetched from your bank on every sync
* **Transaction history**: The first sync pulls 90 days of history (or from a start date you choose); later syncs are incremental with a 7 day lookback
* **Deduplication**: Transactions are deduplicated by their Redbark transaction id, so re-syncing never creates duplicates

### Pending transactions

Only posted transactions are imported by default. To also import pending transactions, set this in your Sure environment:

```
REDBARK_INCLUDE_PENDING=true
```

When a pending transaction settles, the posted version replaces it automatically.

## Limitations

* Australian institutions only (banks under the CDR regime)
* Banking accounts only; brokerage accounts connected to Redbark are not imported
* Data is read-only; Sure never writes anything back to your banks

## Troubleshooting

**Connection requires update**: your API key was revoked or expired. Create a new key in Redbark and update it in the Sure provider panel.

**An account is missing**: check the account's consent is still active in Redbark under **Settings > Consents**, and note that brokerage accounts are not synced.
