About Tink
Tink was a leading European open banking platform that provided APIs and infrastructure for banks and financial institutions to build innovative financial services. The company aggregated financial data from over 3,400 banks across Europe, enabling everything from account aggregation to payment initiation services. Tink's platform powered personal finance management apps, lending decisions, and financial wellness tools for major European banks and fintechs.
The company became a critical piece of Europe's open banking ecosystem under PSD2 regulations, processing millions of API calls daily. Tink's technology enabled banks to offer enhanced customer experiences through data-driven insights and streamlined financial services. Visa acquired Tink in 2022 for €1.8 billion to strengthen its European open banking capabilities and accelerate the development of value-added services for financial institutions.
IPO Status
Tink was acquired by Visa in June 2022 for approximately €1.8 billion (about $1.9 billion), following regulatory approval from European authorities. The acquisition was initially announced in 2021 but faced scrutiny from EU regulators who were concerned about competition in the payments market. Prior to the acquisition, Tink had raised significant private funding and was considered a potential IPO candidate in the European fintech space. However, Visa's acquisition offer provided an exit opportunity for investors and shareholders. Tink now operates as part of Visa's broader strategy to expand its open banking and data services capabilities across Europe.
