Its API connects to European banks and financial institutions, with stated reach across more than 3,000 connections in Europe. Use cases include customer onboarding, account top-ups, invoice settlement, ecommerce, affordability assessment, risk decisions and consumer engagement. Tink Payments lets users authenticate and initiate bank payments and transfers. Data Enrichment categorises transactions, detects recurring activity and forecasts upcoming transactions.

Developers get a single API integration, SDKs, guides, references and sample projects. Supported data includes current and savings accounts, cards, investments, pensions, loans, mortgages, identity and transaction records.
