Banknaked

Banknaked is your personal financial detective, designed to cut through the complexity and opacity of modern banking. In a world where banks often bury fees in fine print and confusing statements, Banknaked provides instant, crystal-clear transparency. The app connects securely to your bank accounts via Open Banking in just minutes, giving you a comprehensive, visual breakdown of every single cost you incur. It automatically detects monthly maintenance charges, foreign exchange markups, ATM withdrawal fees, and those vague "miscellaneous" transaction costs. Beyond just showing you the problem, Banknaked offers the solution: personalized recommendations for alternative banking products that could save you significant money based on your actual spending and transaction habits. Built with a privacy-first, security-centric mindset, the app has read-only access, meaning it can view your transactions but never move your money. It's the essential tool for any consumer who wants to stop overpaying, take control of their financial outgoings, and make empowered decisions about where they bank. With Banknaked, you finally see the true cost of your banking, empowering you to keep more of your hard-earned money.

Automated Fee Detection

Our intelligent algorithms scan your connected bank accounts and transaction history to automatically identify and categorize every fee. This includes recurring monthly account charges, foreign exchange markups on card purchases abroad, ATM withdrawal fees, and wire transfer costs. No more manually sifting through dense statements; Banknaked does the detective work for you, uncovering costs your bank doesn't readily advertise.

Visual Cost Dashboard

Understand your finances at a glance with our intuitive, mobile-friendly dashboard. We transform complex transaction data into clear charts and graphs that visually break down exactly where your banking money is going over the last month or year. This immediate visual insight makes it simple to grasp your total cost of banking and identify which fee categories are costing you the most.

Personalized Bank Recommendations

Banknaked doesn't just highlight problems—it provides smart solutions. Based on an analysis of your actual account usage, transaction patterns, and identified fees, the app generates tailored recommendations for alternative bank accounts or financial products. It shows you a direct comparison of your current annual costs versus the potential savings with a recommended alternative, helping you make a data-driven switch.

Secure Open Banking Integration

Your security and privacy are our top priority. Banknaked uses regulated, secure Open Banking APIs to connect to your financial institution. This ensures bank-level encryption for all data and provides read-only access. We never store your login credentials, cannot move your money, and your data is never stored longer than necessary, fully complying with GDPR standards for your peace of mind.

The Annual Financial Health Check

As part of your yearly financial review, use Banknaked to get a complete picture of your banking costs. Connect all your current and savings accounts to see a consolidated report of every fee paid over the past 12 months. This holistic view allows you to assess if your banking setup still matches your needs and identify hundreds of euros in potential savings before the next year begins.

Preparing for International Travel

Before traveling abroad, connect your primary card to Banknaked. The app will analyze your bank's specific foreign transaction and ATM withdrawal fees, giving you a clear expectation of the costs you'll incur. It can then recommend travel-friendly cards or accounts with lower FX fees, ensuring you don't lose money to hidden markups on every souvenir or meal purchase.

Evaluating a New Bank Offer

When you're considering switching to a new bank that promises "low fees," use Banknaked to validate the claim. First, see what you're actually paying now. Then, you can make an informed comparison against the new bank's fee structure. This prevents you from switching to a bank that might be cheaper in one area but more expensive in another based on your specific habits.

Monitoring for Unauthorized Charges

Banknaked acts as an automated watchdog on your statement. By clearly categorizing all legitimate fees, it makes any unusual or unexpected charges stand out immediately. This helps you quickly spot potential errors from your bank or suspicious transactions that you didn't authorize, allowing for faster resolution and dispute.

Is Banknaked safe to use?

Absolutely. Security is our foundation. We use secure Open Banking protocols, which are regulated financial standards, to connect to your bank. This means we never see or store your online banking username and password. We are granted read-only access, so we can only view your transactions—we cannot move money or make any changes to your accounts. All data is encrypted and we are fully GDPR compliant.
