About myFoundry

Smart Data Foundry's mission is to unlock financial data for social good. Drawing on 5.3 million UK consumer bank accounts, we have created explorable dashboards and curated datasets for policy makers, researchers, NGOs and those involved in delivering public services.

myFoundry is our secure entry-point to this previously hidden data. Creating a myFoundry account enables users to access insights dashboards, curated datasets, the FINDS data catalogue and also request access to micro-level data and our Trusted Research Environment (TRE).

Anyone can register to use myFoundry, though access to micro-level data is restricted to researchers with an approved research proposal.

Users can currently request access to the Income Volatility dashboard and Income Volatility micro-level data.

We will soon be adding more curated datasets to our FINDS data catalogue, and launching new map-based dashboards which will allow users to explore economic wellbeing at a national, regional and local level.

Use Case: understand the true impact of the rising cost of living
