Salary benchmarks
Our take
In order to create innovative financial products, companies need to connect effectively and securely to banks. Yapily solves this problem using its secure API software.
Yapily is headed up by a former Goldman Sachs executive, and since its launch it has scaled its customer base rapidly. Yapily’s API is now trusted by high-growth fintechs such as Intuit QuickBooks and GoCardless.
Yapily is just one of a wave of open banking APIs. Other providers include TrueLayer and Finix. Yapily has recently partnered with credit card startup Yonder and financial standardization company Ntropy to expand its services to consumers. This is an important step and could ensure that Yapily remains competitive in the fintech market.
