Founders & story · from Flinks’s own dossier

Founded in 2016 as a bank connectivity and open banking infrastructure provider in Canada, Flinks started as a data aggregation layer connecting fintechs and lenders to consumer bank accounts. Backed by National Bank of Canada, the company expanded its footprint to 15,000+ financial institutions across North America and layered on enrichment (transaction intelligence, income verification) and document verification on top of raw connectivity. The most recent strategic evolution adds Flinks Pay — a native A2A payments product using Canadian EFT and Interac rails — transforming Flinks from a data-only API into an embedded finance platform combining connectivity, intelligence, and payments.
