For many Canadians, the dream of homeownership feels further away than ever. Rising housing costs and affordability challenges make saving for a down payment feel like running a race where the finish line keeps moving.
Traditional saving, meanwhile, is full of obstacles: it requires unwavering discipline, personal sacrifice, financial know-how, and—most crucially—disposable income. It’s a tough formula to sustain, and too often, it leaves people feeling stuck before they can even start.
New partnerships between fintech innovators and data platforms are helping people move forward when traditional systems stall. They show how technology can unlock progress where old models have fallen short.
That’s where Flinks comes in. We believe secure financial data can power more accessible, seamless, and meaningful financial experiences. Our latest partnership with Quarters is a perfect example.
A New Way to Save for a Home
Flinks has partnered with Quarters, a platform reimagining how saving works in Canada. Quarters recently introduced a new model for home savings: one where progress happens automatically, woven into the rhythm of everyday life.
Here’s how it works:
- Everyday spending, habits, and milestones are transformed into real home savings rewards.
- Flinks’ secure connectivity makes this seamless, enabling Quarters to access real financial data safely and reliably.
- The result is a savings journey that doesn’t require people to overhaul their lives — instead, they can build toward homeownership simply by living them.
Why This Matters
A way to tackle affordability
Canadians need new tools to make homeownership more accessible. This partnership makes saving less daunting and more achievable.
Engineered for security and trust
With Flinks powering connectivity, Canadians can be confident their data is handled safely and securely.
A seamless experience
The process is automated, effortless, and embedded into daily life, making progress more natural and consistent.
Open Banking in Action
This partnership also highlights the promise of open banking in Canada. At its core, open banking is about giving people control over their data, enabling them to save smarter, borrow more effectively, and achieve their goals faster.
With Flinks’ financial data infrastructure, Quarters was able to launch an innovative, customer-first product without the heavy lift of building bank integrations or compliance frameworks from scratch.
For lenders, fintechs, and financial institutions, this is a case study in how secure connectivity unlocks new opportunities:
- Creating differentiated financial products.
- Reaching new audiences with solutions that fit their lives.
- Building trust with offerings rooted in real data and real value.
Looking Ahead
As open banking continues to evolve in Canada, partnerships like this will show what’s possible when data meets innovation. Whether it’s helping Canadians save for a home, streamlining lending, or unlocking new financial insights, Flinks is proud to provide the infrastructure that makes it happen.
