Budget calculator “effi”: Digital innovation for real estate buyers
Fast, simple, efficient: Financial analysis with Open Banking by finAPI
Finding the perfect home is often complex – and one of the biggest challenges for real estate buyers is realistically assessing their budget. This is where effi comes in. As a digital solution by ÜberseeHub GmbH, effi offers an innovative budget calculator that helps real estate buyers quickly and easily determine what is financially feasible. The foundation for this is an automated household analysis – made possible by finAPI’s Open Banking technology.
effi – The platform for living and homeownership
But effi does more than just budget estimation! The platform supports users on their entire path to homeownership: from initial budget planning to property search and financing. With features such as loan comparison, market price checks, independent advisory services, and a real estate marketplace, effi provides a comprehensive solution for real estate buyers. Users benefit from a simple and transparent process – all in one place.
A Long-standing partnership with finAPI
The collaboration between ÜberseeHub and finAPI has been in place since 2019. In addition to effi, other projects such as “Manni” – the digital financial coach – and the construction financing app (“Baufi-App”) of Sparkasse Bremen have been developed together. In previous projects, the integration of finAPI’s banking API and account analysis already allowed users to securely connect their accounts with the respective application and conduct a well-founded financial analysis. This technology also forms the core of digital budget assessment in effi.
Automated Account Analysis for quick budget assessment
A key feature of effi is the ability to securely connect a bank account to the platform. Thanks to finAPI’s account analysis, income and expenses are quickly identified and securely evaluated. This enables a precise assessment of the financial situation – in just seconds and without manual data entry.
finAPI prioritizes data privacy and security: Data processing follows the highest security standards in certified data centers in Germany, fully compliant with GDPR and independently verified by TÜV. Users can trust that their sensitive financial data is always protected.
