Redbark vs Tiller: The Tiller Alternative for Australian Banks (2026)

Tiller is one of the best-known ways to get your bank transactions into a spreadsheet. It auto-fills Google Sheets and Excel with your transactions and balances, and it has a large library of prebuilt budgeting templates. In the US or Canada it is excellent.

For Australians there is one problem. Tiller's bank feeds do not cover Australian banks. It relies on a North American aggregator, so when you try to connect CommBank, ANZ, NAB, Westpac, or any other AU institution, the connection is not there.

Redbark is built for that gap.

Why Tiller does not work for Australian banks

Tiller pulls transactions through an aggregator that connects US and Canadian institutions. Australian banks are not part of that network, and Australia runs its own bank-data framework, the Consumer Data Right (Open Banking), that overseas aggregators generally do not plug into. A tool built for US bank feeds has no Australian path.

How Redbark fills the gap

Redbark connects Australian banks directly through Open Banking via Fiskil, an accredited data recipient. You authenticate at your own bank, approve a specific consent, and your transactions sync automatically. Your banking password never leaves your bank.

Like Tiller, Redbark can put your transactions in Google Sheets. It can also feed YNAB, Actual Budget, or your own systems through signed webhooks and a REST API, and it does that in real time rather than on a once-a-day refresh.

If you like Tiller's prebuilt spreadsheet templates, you can keep that workflow. Point Redbark at a Google Sheet and build your budget on top of the live data.

Which should you choose?

Choose Tiller if you bank in the US or Canada and want its mature library of spreadsheet templates.

Choose Redbark if you bank in Australia or New Zealand. It is the spreadsheet-friendly bank feed that actually connects to your bank, over Open Banking, in real time, and it is not limited to spreadsheets.
