Midata
What is midata?
When you bank, shop or pay a bill, the information forms a picture of your spending habits. We call this your midata.
You can save the midata for your account as a file. You can then use it, for example to choose new products and services. A midata file shows the last 12 months of your account history. It does not show any personal details like your name, address or date of birth.
