French fintech startup Lydia is going to work with financial API startup Tink for its open banking features in its app. Lydia started as a peer-to-peer payment app and now has 4 million users in Europe.
Lydia’s vision has evolved to become a financial super app that lets you control your bank accounts and access various financial services. In France, you can connect your Lydia account with your bank account using Budget Insight’s Budgea API.
Over the coming weeks, Lydia is going to switch over and use Tink for some clients going forward. If you have a bank account that works better with Budget Insight, Lydia will keep using Budget Insight for those accounts. If Tink is a better option, Lydia will use Tink.
