Company mission

Lean was built so developers can focus on innovation while they handle the complexities. They believe that developers are creators, and creativity thrives in the absence of hindrance, so they are committed to creating the best developer experience possible.

Our take

Lean aim to put the consumer at the centre of the fintech ecosystem. They allow the user to securely share their data with their favourite fintech apps, meaning that they gain access to better quality financial services and products. The data they share is fully customisable, and can be monitored, amended, or revoked at any time with the Customer Consent Portal, meaning the user is always in control. By collating data from multiple sources, it makes it easier for customers to have a comprehensive view of their financial lives.

Lean's tools encourage innovation for developers, allowing them to transform ideas into revolutionary fintech products. Their data API gives real time access to information behind their users bank account, whilst their payments API, designed to facilitate bank-to-bank transfers to integrate payments into the customer experience, is on the way. This access to financial data- always with the user's permission- allows developers to build all new financial experiences.

Lean uses bank-level security at all levels of its infrastructure and software. Their core technologies ensure that customers can seamlessly and securely share their financial data without ever compromising on their privacy or security.
