Akahu: too many devices connected error
When connecting to your bank via Akahu, you might receive an error stating "Too many devices connected". This device limit is mostly caused by old devices which are left connected to your mobile banking apps, despite them no longer being used.
To fix this, you will need to deregister any unused devices before proceeding. This may be done from within your online banking website, or via the mobile app itself, depending upon your bank.
In this guide, we provide bank-specific instructions for deregistering unused devices.
