How does Transactions work?
Transactions is an AI-powered tool that helps businesses fuel their product innovation. It uses a perfect combination of developer work, data standardization, and high-quality coverage that can be easily integrated into your product to extract the real value from data. It appears as an option to add a bank account or connect a different type of account, depending on your needs and requirements.
Once integrated, the customer needs to:
- Select their financial institution.
- Authenticate financial accounts by submitting a username and password.
- Choose the accounts they want to connect.
- That’s it! The accounts are added.
Once a customer submits their username and password, you can quickly and easily verify ownership of the account and collect all transaction data you need. Your customers don’t pay for using the service and they can choose from thousands of banks Planky collaborates with. A great thing is that Transactions doesn’t need coding to kick off. It’s a fully scalable solution that enables you to access any transaction from any source in a few clicks, without any programming knowledge and developer skills.
