Managing third party connections in the BNZ app

You can give limited access to your BNZ banking information to third party websites and applications such as online shopping sites, without giving away your passwords.

This is done by connecting to the third party website or application, authenticating with your BNZ credentials, and providing consent to the third party to access your details. 

For the most part, setting up a connection to a third party only needs to be done once, and the connection will remain in place until it is cancelled or expired.

You can also view or remove your third party connections in Internet Banking.

Viewing your third party connections

1. Log in to the BNZ app. 
2. Go to Settings in the menu.
3. Select Connections to see any active third party connections.
4. Select any of your third party connections to view more information about how they’ve been set up.

Removing your third party connections

1. Log in to the BNZ app.
2. Go to Settings in the menu.
3. Select Connections to see any active third party connections.
4. Select the third party connection you want to remove.
5. Select Remove in the pop-up box that appears, to confirm and action the request. You will then receive a notification that the connection has been removed.

After you’ve followed the steps and confirmed the removal of the third party access connection, due to technology constraints, it may take up to 5 minutes to take effect. Once your connection has been removed, the third party will no longer have access to your BNZ banking information.

Restoring third party connections

To restore a connection that you have removed, you’ll need to go to the third party website or application, and go through the authentication and consent steps you followed when you originally set up the connection.
