Tink has announced the expansion of its existing partnership with Irish postal services provider An Post.
The Swedish-based organisation which specialises in open banking technology, has revealed that the strategic move will see An Post’s free Money Manager smart budgeting tool is now available to everyone in Ireland, expanding access to the service beyond solely An Post Money customers.
The news comes 16 months after the partnership was initially announced, and is set to see the relationship between the two organisation’s strengthen.
Tasha Chouhan, UK & IE Banking Director at Tink, commented: “In the current economic climate, people are understandably on the lookout for tools to help them understand and track their spending.
“The expansion of our partnership with An Post means that anyone with a bank account in Ireland can now use their open banking-powered Money Manager app to access real-time insights into their financial circumstances.
“At a time when many are struggling with their day-to-day finances, this will add considerable value to customers – putting power back into their hands and allowing them to make informed financial decisions.”
Bruce Richardson, Senior Manager Change at An Post was equally passionate about the importance of the partnership for the Irish general public, stating “Our recent research shows people in Ireland feel a lack of financial control, as they try to keep afloat during challenging times.
“In fact, almost nine-in-ten (87%) over 18s have expressed financial concerns for the year ahead.
“We are proud to expand our existing partnership with Tink – allowing anyone with a bank account in Ireland to use our engaging Money Manager tools.
“This enables us to provide people with a real-time view of their financial situation, with features which will help users to improve their financial situation.”
