Security

How is my banking data stored in Kresus?

If you use the standalone version of Kresus, we assume you know how to secure your server. No data will be encrypted and this mode, not even your banking password. Then, we advise you encrypt the hard disk on which Kresus is installed, or you containerize the web service, or you use any such mean to secure your password. In the future, the password might be stored encrypted in this mode as well.

Why should I give my banking password to Kresus?

To fetch banking operations from your bank website, Kresus fakes a web browser (thanks to Woob) and then login to your bank website using your credentials. This lets him fetch your banking data, in an automated way, every night, without any action from your part.

Synchronization with the bank

When and how does Kresus update my transactions?

Upon a bank access creation Kresus downloads from your bank's website the totality of the transactions available.

Then Kresus downloads the new transactions during the night (the hour is not fixed). However, the banks will sometimes add new transactions several days after their real date, therefore Kresus will retrieve the transactions up to one month before the last fetch, to be sure.

You can disable this threshold in the administration if you feel that is not enough or if there was a temporary connector issue and some past transactions are missing.

1. Open the top right menu and click on “Administration”
2. At the bottom of the page, enable “Fetch all transactions every time”
