Skript is a fintech company based in Australia that specialises in open banking (Consumer Data Right, or CDR) infrastructure and bank data feeds for businesses. It offers APIs and turnkey tools that allow software providers, accountants, lenders, and other organisations to securely access and use bank transaction and balance data from more than 100 Australian financial institutions. Skript positions itself as the “lightbulb” layer for open banking, turning complex regulatory and technical requirements into simple, usable data services for downstream business applications.
A charge from Skript on your card or bank statement is likely related to a business service that uses their platform—such as accounting software, financial analysis tools, or other applications that have integrated Skript’s bank data feeds or CDR-based services. Depending on how your provider has implemented billing, you might see Skript appear as the merchant of record for subscription fees, usage-based charges, or implementation/onboarding fees associated with open banking access. In some cases these may be one‑off payments (for setup or consulting) or recurring monthly/annual charges for ongoing data access.
If you don’t immediately recognise this charge, start by checking any accounting, bookkeeping, lending, or financial tools your business uses that may have recently added bank feeds or open banking functionality. Log into those services and review billing or subscription sections for references to Skript or open banking providers. You can also search your email for onboarding messages or invoices mentioning “Skript” or “CDR bank feeds.” For further clarification, you can contact Skript through the contact form on their website, providing the date, amount, and last four digits of the card used so they or their partner can trace the transaction. If you still believe the charge is unauthorised, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute it and request that your card be blocked or replaced if necessary.

Why do I see a charge from Skript on my business bank account or card?
A Skript charge usually relates to a business service that has integrated Skript’s open banking or bank feed infrastructure. This might be accounting software, financial reporting tools, lending/credit assessment platforms, or another app that uses CDR bank data and bills you through Skript as the merchant of record. Check your active business software subscriptions for recent upgrades involving bank feeds or open banking data.
Is Skript a subscription service or a one‑time fee?
Skript itself typically charges businesses on a recurring basis (for access to data feeds and APIs) and/or via usage‑based pricing. Depending on how your software provider has set up billing, you could see regular monthly or annual Skript charges, or occasional one‑off invoices for projects, onboarding, or additional data usage. Review invoices or your provider’s billing section to see whether your plan includes recurring Skript-powered bank feeds.
How can I confirm which software or platform is using Skript for my account?
Start by listing any tools you use that connect directly to your bank accounts—such as accounting, bookkeeping, cash‑flow, or lending platforms. Log into each service and check the settings for “Bank feeds,” “Open Banking,” or “Data providers.” Many products disclose their bank data partner there. You can also review recent onboarding emails or invoices from those tools, which may mention Skript or “CDR bank feeds” as the underlying infrastructure.
How do I cancel Skript‑related charges?
In most cases you don’t cancel directly with Skript, but instead cancel or downgrade the software or service that’s using Skript on your behalf. Log into that platform and follow its cancellation process, then monitor your statements over the next one to two billing cycles to ensure Skript-related charges stop. If you believe you have a direct contract with Skript, review that agreement or contact Skript through their website to request cancellation instructions.
How do I request a refund for a Skript charge I don’t recognise?
First, contact the software provider or platform that you believe is linked to the Skript charge and ask them to review your billing history; they can often reverse recent transactions if they were made in error. If you are unable to identify the linked service, you can reach out to Skript via their website’s contact form, providing the transaction date, amount, and card details (last four digits only) so they can investigate. If you still suspect fraud or an unauthorised debit, contact your bank or card issuer to lodge a dispute.
Can Skript place small test or authorisation charges on my account?
As with many payment and data platforms, small temporary authorisation charges may occur when a card or bank account is first added or when billing details are updated. These test amounts are used to verify that the payment method is valid and are generally reversed automatically and disappear from your pending transactions. If such a small charge remains posted for more than a few days, contact your bank or the associated software provider for clarification.
What information should I have ready before contacting Skript or my bank about this charge?
Have the transaction amount, date and time, the last four digits of the card, and any related invoice or email references available. It is also helpful to list which apps or services you use that access your bank accounts. Providing this information to Skript, your software provider, or your bank will make it easier to trace the payment and determine whether it is a legitimate subscription, a billing error, or a potentially fraudulent transaction.
Does Skript store or use my personal banking login details?
Skript operates under Australia’s Consumer Data Right (open banking) framework, using secure, consent‑based data sharing rather than traditional screen‑scraping of login credentials. When a service uses Skript, your access and consent are managed through regulated CDR flows. If you have concerns about how your data is used, review the privacy policy and data‑sharing settings within the app that connects to your bank accounts and, if needed, contact that provider or Skript for clarification.
