Redbark vs Tailride

Redbark connects your Australian bank accounts and global brokerage portfolios directly to the productivity tools you already use — Google Sheets, Notion, and Airtable. Unlike legacy screen-scraping tools, Redbark uses Australia's Consumer Data Right (CDR) framework for secure, bank-approved access to your financial data. Your transactions, balances, and investment holdings sync automatically on a schedule you control. Redbark never stores your financial data — it passes through in real time from your bank to your chosen destination. Built for freelancers, investors, small business owners, and anyone who tracks finances in spreadsheets. Set up in minutes with no coding required. Supports Australian banks via CDR, New Zealand banks via Akahu, and global brokerages via SnapTrade.
