Use cases
Build better products and processes with financial data
Secure access to users’ financial data enables you to streamline common processes, such as onboarding and payments, and build new products to help users manage their finances. Because Financial Connections is fully interoperable with the rest of Stripe, it’s easy to connect to users’ accounts to improve payments and product experiences.
