"best tool for bank verification"

5/5

What do you like best about Flinks?

Flinks has easy access to all banking info. It shows the address of the customer, their employer information, and all loans and payments. It breaks everything down into easy-to-read grafts and tabs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinks?

I have come across no issues with Flinks; it has been a fantastic tool to utilize. The only thing I would change would be the errors staying on the main page when a customer does not fill out the information correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flinks:

a great way to improve errors, easily the fastest way to verify information given by the customer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We can correctly identify personal information, including account numbers, employment, and address. We have eliminated fraudulent activity in our loan systems and control our loss via risk assessment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable service, constantly pushing for innovation, responsive to customer needs"

5/5

What do you like best about Flinks?

Any time we have had a change to our business, Flinks has always brought partners to the table to solve with us. It's become integral to what we do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinks?

There is always some customer pushback in releasing this kind of information. It's not necessarily a drawback of Flinks the company, but rather the nature of the product itself. It can't be all things to all people, but the tides are definitely moving toward the direction of widespread adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Start up friendly and scalable solutions."

5/5

What do you like best about Flinks?

When trying to get started in business a lot of other service providers had complicated onboarding and flinks were so easy to deal with.

Their support from the day we were onboarded was beyond expectations and their developpers even got involved into helping integration.

They have provided us tremendous support as we scaled from 0 to a few thousand api calls a month amd provided us flexibily that no other company was able to match. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinks?

Honestly nothing so far, there is some personnel roll over but service has remained perfect troughout the changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient onboarding experience"

4/5

What do you like best about Flinks?

Because we had already established the Canadian instance, I was happy that the Flinks team already knew enough about our business to be able to create the hosted solution for our USA instance without needing to ask questions or go over the same information again. It was a quick setup exactly how we needed it to be with very little back and forth needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinks?

The reliability of a successful connection can vary from institution to institution so it can be difficult to communicate with our end users why a connection hasn't worked or why they need to try again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good financial API integrator, some ways to go still for Broker integration"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Flinks?

The team is responsive, and the account manager does his best to help resolve issues quickly. When it's working, the process is relatively seamless for users. If these issues were resolved, it would have been easy to integrate with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinks?

It doesn't support Wealthsimple Trade. Outstanding issues with integrations are still unresolved (i.e., with Questrade). Some UX is confusing and still shows 'Wealthica' branding. No information in the UX about Flink's security practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flinks"

5/5

What do you like best about Flinks?

The ability to get banking data directly from banks without the possibility of forged or photoshopped client supplied bank statements. Not only does it provide a seamless process for our clients it is a great anti-fraud tool for us as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flinks?

The 90-day window that clients stay active in the platform is not long enough for some client use cases. We would prefer a longer period before a file is not able to be refreshed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
