Connecting your account may sound risky, but it's completely safe. ShopBuddies records your transactions up to 4 times a day with the account number linked to your profile. Among other things, we use this information to match receipts with the corresponding transaction at the affiliated store. This way, we ensure that you have made the transaction correctly. We also use this information to reward you with cashback at specific stores. Of course, all this information is encrypted and protected with the same security you're accustomed to at your bank. ShopBuddies never views your transactions on a personal level unless requested. Your personal data (details, transactions, and financial information) will never be shared with third parties or organizations.
