Flinks Express: The Fastest Path to Seamless Customer Account Connection

Flinks offers several solutions for integrating financial data aggregation capabilities, and Flinks Express stands out as the ideal option for businesses prioritizing speed and simplicity. Flinks Express is recognized as the fastest way to integrate with Flinks to connect end-user accounts.

What is Flinks Express?

Flinks Express is a user-facing hosted solution that Flinks manages entirely on your behalf. Unlike integration options that require embedding components into your application, Flinks Express is designed to be fully customized with your branding and logos.

This solution is particularly beneficial if you want a rapid integration that does not require in-house development resources or any coding work. While Flinks Express connects customer accounts and allows for brand customization, it is important to note that it is not embedded directly within your site.

The Customer Connection Experience

When using Flinks Express, your customers are directed to a dedicated Flinks-owned and hosted website that features your corporate branding. The platform then guides the user through the process of connecting their financial account by prompting them to perform the following actions:

1. Validate their identity.

2. Review the scope of data that your services require them to share.

3. Select their financial institution.

4. Enter their username and password to log in with their financial institution.

5. Answer a multi-factor authentication (MFA) question if required by their financial institution.

6. Select the account they wish to share.

Additionally, if you are using Flinks Express, you have access to the Bank Verification Invitation feature in the request feed of your client dashboard. This feature allows you to send a link via email or text message directly to a user, which opens Flinks Connect with their institution's login screen pre-loaded, increasing connection volume.
