What’s Flinks? Why do I need it?

Flinks is the most efficient way to deal

with financial information.

Backed by the National Bank of Canada,

a major Canadian financial institution,

Flinks allows users to safely and reliably

connect their banking data to the

application or services of their choice.

This quick and secure process eliminates

the need for legacy processes such as

micro-deposits, PDF documents or

picture uploads, and even unsafe

processes such as identification

document sharing.

How does it work?

Simply put, Flinks helps digitize the

collection of financial information so you

can complete your onboarding faster,

whether it’d be a loan application or

signing up for a financial service of your

choice.

To do so, we’ve built secure digital

channels to thousands of banks. These

pipelines make it possible to quickly and

safely transfer information.

Is this service safe and secure?

Flinks is a very safe way to transfer

financial information. You are sharing

sensitive data that’s only meant to be

used by the application you are

connecting to, so we keep it 256-bit

encrypted at all times.

Your bank accounts’ login credentials

are never displayed, viewed or shared.

We engage with the best security firms

to routinely audit our processes,

ensuring our security standards are

always at the highest level. For

instance, we’ve maintained a SOC 2

report for years. This is the gold

standard for companies dealing with

customer data, and it confirms the

effectiveness of our security practices.

Is my data private? Do I have control

over it?

It’s your personal data. Not ours, not

anyone else’s. You have control over it.

No one can access your information

without your knowledge and

permission. It is encrypted using the

highest industry standards, moved

through secure channels, and stored on

protected servers.

You can request us to correct, update or

erase your personal information in our

records. In other words, you can

withdraw your consent whenever you

want. You can request data deletion at
