The accounting data accessed from the accounting tools and applications used by small businesses can help financial service providers better understand their customer’s finances and gain insights that can help build better products for these small businesses. API integrations for accounting data have made it convenient for financial service providers to access such accounting information of their customers, allowing them to make smarter, real-time data-driven decisions.
However, the accounting data of customers is fragmented across different platforms that are used by businesses to record their transactions and manage their accounts better. To help financial service providers leverage such fragmented accounting data without the hassle of managing multiple integrations internally, PowerCred offers seamless access to real-time accounting data from multiple accounting platforms using a single API integration. PowerCred ethically sources the accounting data of customers with their prior informed consent and shares it with financial service providers in a structured and summarised format for ease of analysis. Accessing real-time data using PowerCred’s API integration thus helps financial service providers make real-time, smarter decisions with insights that help them better understand the health of their customer’s business.
