Open banking platform Tink have managed to secure a €90 million investment round to support its European expansion
This was Tink’s biggest investment round in company history.
Following a €56 million investment round completed back in February 2019, this marks the open banking platform’s most lucrative round to date.
“The investment round will facilitate our ambitious growth plans over the next year and beyond,” said Daniel Kjellén, co-founder and CEO of Tink. “During 2020, we are committed to building out our platform with more bank connections and, on top of that, expanding our product offering.
“Our aim is to become the preferred pan-European provider of digital banking services and to offer the technology needed for banks, fintechs and startups to leverage the opportunities of open banking and enable them to successfully develop financial services of the future.
Open Banking: a friend or foe to traditional banks?
“Two key factors for succeeding with that are that we strengthen our European coverage and continue to deliver new data-products on top of this infrastructure to our customers.”
The funding, which was co-led by Dawn Capital, HMI Capital and Insight Partners, will be put towards developing its services, including financial data generation and the offering of financial management tools.
Josh Bell, general partner at Dawn Capital, said: “As the world of banking undergoes a fundamental shift, from analogue to digital and from closed to open, banks and financial services require a new set of technical foundations on which to build a winning product strategy for the coming decades.
“Tink has become a trusted partner amidst growing demand from Europe’s leading banks and fintechs seeking to build better and more creative financial products and services.
