Tink Is Joining Visa

The app Tink gave notice to its users and just closed down. The motivation was basically "we're moving on to other things".

This was probably pre-pandemic.

What irks me is that I loved the app but also that we the users of the app basically classified purchases that the app couldn't classify itself. So we trained their database on how to classify bank statements into categories. And then they just close down and take all that data with them.

I guess it was a "free" app? Everything has a cost.

Yep, it was free. We tried to monetize it in a few ways but never managed to make it profitable. Also, we loved the app, too!

Can't say that I blame anyone. If it wasn't profitable there isn't much to do. Perhaps communication could have been better? Don't know.
