Flinks
Flinks is a Canadian financial data platform (owned by National Bank of Canada) that lets businesses connect to consumer and business bank accounts to aggregate account, transaction, and statement data, verify identity, and derive income, credit-risk, and fraud analytics. Access begins with a Flinks Connect authentication session and a multi-step /Authorize (MFA) call, after which banking, enrichment, and analytics endpoints are invoked with the returned RequestId.
