Account Aggregation

Automated collection and normalization of financial data from disparate institutions for a holistic client view.

We currently map 33 vendors in account aggregation within investment management, 14 with detailed profiles covering funding, size, and positioning. The landscape below shows who leads, who challenges, and how each platform approaches the problem.

What's shifting

From fragile screen-scraping to secure direct-API networks

Traditional aggregation has long depended on fragile screen-scraping technology that constantly breaks due to website updates and multi-factor authentication (MFA) challenges. This is being completely dismantled by open banking mandates and secure, direct-API networks (like Plaid and Akoya) that establish tokenized, permissioned data pipelines. This ensures that the advisor's view of a client's total net worth is finally real-time, completely stable, and fully secure.
