As reported by one of cashless.pl readers, open banking has finally appeared in Revolut's app in Poland. And indeed, under the icon with available services in the "Accounts" section you can find the "Connected" function. Once activated, Revolut customers can link their accounts with four Polish banks: mBank, ING, Pekao and Santander.

After clicking on the "Related" icon, the customer must accept the terms of service and give the necessary consents. He then selects the appropriate bank from the list and is asked to authorise access to his account with that institution through its app.

Once the instruction is approved, the account is added to the Revolut app. It can be added to the home screen, where the "Related" tab also appears.

In addition to the visible balance of the added account, the new feature is expected to make it easier for customers to load their account in the Revolut app. After aggregating accounts from other banks, you will no longer need to use a debit card to make a deposit. However, it seems that this facility is not ready yet - when I try to top up my Revolut account from my mBank account, I get a message that something went wrong. Perhaps I have to wait until the official launch of the new feature.

Interestingly, Revolut is the second institution to implement account aggregation in Poland today. This was previously announced by mBank.
