Hi,

My partner and I are just planning to purchase our first property and have no experience dealing with mortgage brokers.

We've started engaging with a mortgage broker and as part of their process we've been asked to give them access to our bank statements through 'AffordX' platform which uses 'Akahu'.

What I am particularly uncomfortable with is entering all my bank logins and passwords in Akahu.

Is it normal and okay to provide this ?. . Would it not be sufficient to share downloaded bank statements to the mortgage broker ?.

Thanks in advance.
