Tink, a Sweden-based fintech that provides APIs to create next-generation banking services, announced on Monday it secured €90 million through its latest investment round, which was co-led by Dawn Capital, HMI Capital, and Insight Partners. The latest funding comes less than a year after Tink raised €56 million. As previously reported, Tink is on a mission to make banking “better” by creating technology to improve customer experience and bring more financial clarity.
“Today, we are an FSA-regulated partner to big banks, fintech unicorns and even small startups. Our 150 employees serve 9 European markets out of two offices. And our API offers one access point to financial data from across Europe – as well as the ability to offer insights and actionable advice – whether it’s through our full-service enterprise offering or our self-service platform for developers.”
This new funding will notably fuel Tink’s continued expansion across Europe and support further development of its open banking platform that enables banks, fintechs, and startups to develop data-driven financial services. Tink is currently live in the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Belgium, Austria, and the Netherlands. Speaking about the investment, Daniel Kjellén, co-founder and CEO, Tink, stated:
“The investment round will facilitate our ambitious growth plans over the next year and beyond. 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. 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.”
Josh Bell, General Partner of Dawn Capital, added:
“As the world of banking undergoes a fundamental shift, from analog 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. Our investment underlines the confidence that the industry has in Tink’s categoryleading technology, and we look forward to supporting them on their continued journey.”
