# What data can my business access from a user’s linked financial account?

After collecting an account, you receive access to the following information by default: last four digits of an account number, account category such as checking or savings, and account nickname, if available. Prior to requesting additional data on a user’s Financial Connections Account, you must specify the data you want to access with the permissions parameter of the Financial Connections Session, an array containing values from [payment_method, balances, ownership, and transactions]. These values correspond to the following data:
* Payment method: Tokenized account and routing number
* Balances: Current and available balances
* Account owners: Account owner name and mailing address
* Transactions (coming soon): Posted and pending transactions
To protect the privacy of your user's data, account data accessible to you is limited to the data you’ve specified in the `permissions` parameter.
