Brazil’s competition authority is investigating whether Bradesco, one of the country’s largest banks, broke competition rules by restricting a financial management app from accessing its customers’ data.

Bradesco denied in a statement any wrongdoing and said the issue with Guiabolso involved client data security and bank secrecy rules. Guiabolso declined to comment on the matter.
