"Comprehensive financial data, but with technical issues"

2/5

What do you like best about Flinks?

Flinks is a powerful tool for obtaining financial data, covering most Canadian financial institutes. The data we can get from Flinks is very comprehensive, giving us a clear picture of our financial status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinks?

While Flinks provides a valuable service, there are some technical issues that require attention. For example, linking a CIBC bank account took around five minutes, which can be frustrating for users. Additionally, we encountered "Unexpected error" messages when attempting to link Scotiabank accounts, and "Retry later" messages when linking to Neo Financial accounts. Moreover, if certain banks display promotion pages upon logging in to online banking, Flinks is unable to retrieve account information, which can be a limitation.

Furthermore, the technical support provided by Flinks is superficial, with a tendency to deflect or offer simple answers rather than addressing and troubleshooting issues. This approach can undermine confidence in their technical capabilities.

Overall, Flinks is a useful tool for accessing comprehensive financial data, but the technical issues and lack of thorough technical support can be frustrating for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flinks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flinks provides us with a simple solution for connecting our clients' bank accounts to their e-wallet accounts. By leveraging Flinks, we are able to simplify the process of linking bank accounts and verifying account data, which saves time and effort for both our company and clients.

One of the primary issues that Flinks solves for us is the arduous and error-prone process of manually inputting bank account information. Flinks streamlines the process by allowing clients to link their bank accounts to our platform, enabling us to easily access their account information for future EFT top-ups and withdrawals to their e-wallet accounts.

Response from Simon Wahl of Flinks

Dear Kevin, thanks for sharing your feedback.

Canadian banking data extraction can be unequal at times and presents its unique set of challenges and we sincerely apologize if, in some instances, the end-user experience you’re hoping to deliver doesn’t always match expectations... That said, rest assured that our customers' satisfaction remains of the utmost importance.

Please feel free to reach out to your designated Account Manager with any further comments, concerns, or suggestions.

"Flinks Provides Comprehensive Coverage of Canadian Financial Institutions"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Flinks?

I am really impressed with Flinks and appreciate their comprehensive coverage of Canadian financial institutions, including credit unions and smaller banks. It has been incredibly helpful for us at Billi to be able to access our customers' financial data quickly and securely.

In addition to their reliable data aggregation and financial insights solutions, the customer support from Flinks has been exceptional. Their team has always been responsive and helpful, which is essential when dealing with sensitive financial information.

Moreover, Flinks has been at the forefront of the Open Banking movement in Canada, which is a significant development in the financial industry. We are thrilled to be using a tool that is pushing the industry forward.

Overall, Flinks has been a valuable and reliable tool for us in the financial industry, and we would highly recommend it to anyone who needs to access financial data quickly and securely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinks?

Overall, I have had a great experience using Flinks at Billi. However, one challenge we have faced is the disruption caused by some banks rolling out two-factor authentication (2FA) requirements. This can create a broken experience for users as they have to log in every time they use Billi to refresh their data.

While this issue is outside of Flinks' control, their customer support team has been responsive and helpful in navigating this challenge. Additionally, we have found that manually refreshing data or scheduling automatic refreshes at regular intervals can help reduce the inconvenience caused by 2FA requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flinks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flinks enables us to access our customers' financial information quickly and securely by connecting to a wide range of financial institutions. This allows Billi to display accurate and up-to-date financial histories to their customers, saving time and effort while reducing manual errors. Using Flinks, Billi is able to make better-informed decisions and provide more value to their customers by gaining valuable insights into their financial behaviour.
