Local Authorities Prepare for the Crisis and Resilience Fund

As local authorities prepare for the introduction of the Crisis and Resilience Fund, there is a clear opportunity to modernise how financial support is assessed and delivered to residents experiencing hardship.

By combining DigiStaff’s expertise in local authority digital solutions with AperiData’s FCA-regulated Open Banking services, now part of the PayPoint Group, we can help councils make faster, more informed affordability decisions using real-time financial insight.

Together, this partnership can 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 enable more tailored support
  • Strengthen financial inclusion and Consumer Duty outcomes

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

We’re excited to work with the DigiStaff team and support councils in delivering the ambitions of the Crisis and Resilience Fund through smarter, more inclusive digital services.
