    We're excited to share that BlinkPay has successfully re-certified under the latest ISO 27001:2022 standard! It might not sound like the 'sexiest' news in open banking, but believe us, it’s a huge deal for our customers and partners, so we're pretty excited about it! ISO 27001 is the global gold standard for managing information security. It provides a framework that helps businesses protect sensitive information, ensuring that we have the right safeguards in place to keep data secure and reduce risks. The updated 2022 version introduces new improvements, especially around cloud security and privacy, helping us stay at the forefront of today’s cybersecurity challenges. We've held this certification for years, and re-certifying under the updated standard is a big win that reflects our ongoing commitment to security and best practices. With data protection more important than ever, this achievement underscores our dedication to excellence and proves we’re always striving to do things the right way. This milestone is also one of the key reasons we've been able to secure commercial agreements with Aotearoa’s big four banks, reinforcing the trust they place in us and inspiring us to keep delivering secure, innovative payment solutions. A big shout-out to our incredible team for living up to these high standards every day. You make it all happen, and we couldn’t do it without you!

    At BlinkPay, we’re on a mission to show Kiwis what Open Banking can do, and how it puts them in control of their data—and we’re building the products to support that vision. A recent survey from one of our four banking partners, Bank of New Zealand, shows there’s still a big knowledge gap around this game-changing technology. To build trust and get more people using Open Banking, we need to prioritise education. Got questions? At BlinkPay, we're always keen for a kōrero, so get in touch anytime!
