As local authorities prepare for the introduction of the Crisis and Resilience Fund, there has never been a greater opportunity to modernise how financial support is delivered to residents experiencing financial hardship.

By combining DigiStaff ‘s expertise in local authority digital solutions with AperiData’s FCA-regulated Open Banking services, we’re helping councils make faster, more informed affordability decisions using real-time financial insight.

Together, we’ll support local authorities to:

✅ Deliver faster, evidence-based financial assessments

✅ Reduce manual administration and improve operational efficiency

✅ Improve access to crisis support for residents who need it most

✅ Identify vulnerability earlier and deliver more personalised support

✅ Strengthen financial inclusion and Consumer Duty outcomes

Our shared ambition is simple: to help local authorities make financial support faster, fairer and more accessible, while giving frontline teams the tools they need to make confident, data-driven decisions.

We’re excited to be working with the DigiStaff team and look forward to supporting councils in delivering the ambitions of the Crisis and Resilience Fund.
