Account Aggregation

Account Aggregation API for Fintech Applications

Account aggregation is the foundation of modern fintech applications. By connecting multiple bank accounts through a single API, you can provide users with a unified view of their finances, enabling powerful money management features.

The Challenge of Multi-Bank Account Access

Users have accounts spread across multiple banks, but managing them separately creates friction and limits financial insights.

  • Users must log into multiple banking apps to check balances

  • No unified view of total financial position

  • Manual consolidation is time-consuming and error-prone

  • Difficult to track spending across accounts

  • Limited ability to analyze overall financial health
