What is Wych Data?
Wych Data is an accredited platform that helps you securely access consumer-consented data, including banking and energy datasets, and integrate those capabilities into your products.
You can use Wych to:
- connect customers to their data providers (for example banks and energy retailers)
- request and manage consent in a compliant way
- retrieve data via APIs
- optionally use pre-built insights and reports to reduce implementation effort
What can I build with Wych?
- Build with APIs
- Use insights and reports
- White-label journey
Use the APIs to retrieve raw and Wych-enhanced representations of data, suitable for teams that want maximum control over data handling, security, and downstream processing.
Best for: product and engineering teams integrating into existing systems.
Use no-code or low-code insights and reports to deliver outcomes without building your own data pipelines.
Best for: teams focused on outcomes like verification, statements, and affordability style views.
Provide customers with a complete, branded experience using a white-label journey.

How it works
Wych follows a simple flow:
- Authenticate your application to the Wych API.
- Request consent from the customer using either the hosted journey or your own journey.
- Retrieve data using a customer (user context) token.
:::info Key point In an open banking flow, the customer authenticates directly with their bank or provider. Your application does not collect the customer’s banking credentials. :::
Choose your consent journey
Option 1: Hosted consent and connect (recommended)
Use Wych’s compliant, brandable consent journey and direct customers to your app-specific connection link.
Use this when: you want the fastest path to production with minimal implementation effort.
Option 2: Bring your own consent journey (advanced)
Embed the consent journey into your existing application using Wych APIs. This is typically used for migrations or where you need a consistent cross-region experience.
Use this when: you have a strong CX and compliance capability and need full UI control.
:::warning Advanced integration “Bring your own consent” journeys typically require additional review before production use. :::
