Salt Edge Partners with Fairo to Offer Romanian Freelancers Open Banking Connectivity

Fairo, an innovative financial app for freelancers, joined hands with Salt Edge, a leader in providing open banking solutions, to enable Fairo customers to keep track of their business banking transactions in the app and to automate the management of administrative tasks.

Leveraging Salt Edge Account Information solution, the Fairo team launched the FairoSync feature. With it, Fairo enables customers to get split-second access to a full overview of their banking transactions in the app compliantly, without needing its own PSD2 licence. Fairo customers simply connect their bank account to the app and can securely track their business income and expenses directly in Fairo.

Much more, combining Salt Edge Account Information solution with Fairo's invoice-payment pairing technology, Fairo customers can forget about tracking the status of their invoices manually in Excel sheets. Fairo now automatically tracks if client invoices are paid, overdue or outstanding.

FairoSync was built to drive automation while at the same time ensuring the highest level of financial data security for its users. Fairo partnered up with Salt Edge, a global bank data integration specialist, to offer best-in-class security solutions to protect user data. FairoSync's security aspects ensure that the API service used has no capability to move money or make withdrawals from connected user accounts.

"Our mission is to help freelancers regain freedom to follow their passions as we simplify the management of their business finances and administrative tasks. To build FairoSync, we've been looking for a bank data integration specialist that can deliver reliable services and provide the highest levels of financial data security possible for our customers in Romania. Salt Edge understands and meets all our needs, and helps to obtain a successful collaboration from technical and business perspectives,"said Igor Prerovsky, CEO Creative Dock Austria.

"Our companies' joint efforts will help push the automatisation of major invoicing and accounting processes fuelled by PSD2 even further and will pave the way for open banking possibilities in Romania. Both Salt Edge and Fairo solutions enable SMEs and freelancers to save time and resources, as we are sure there are plenty of tasks that can run perfectly well without human intervention,"added Erica Virlan, Open Banking Expert at Salt Edge.
