In the current booming digitally native era, open banking becomes a springboard for PFMs, genuinely transforming the way users manage their money. Being a modern PFM, Fast Budget app allows managing day to day personal, family finances, shaking off the need for manual input of daily transactions into the app. Driven by Salt Edge’s data aggregation solution, Fast Budget offers advanced finance management tools allowing end-customers to see all their banks and eWallets accounts information in one place, making it easier to track and manage them.

Alex Ferraroni, CEO at Fast Budget, said: "Leveraging Salt Edge’s bank data aggregation technology, our users can manage their financials seamlessly, taking the fuss and bother out of the process. We are excited to join hands with like-minded companies to unlock the benefits of open banking and to give our customers a great and personalised PFM experience."

Fast Budget app allows users to control their finances using different tools and charts. Salt Edge open banking solution powers end-customers to connect multiple bank accounts, from any country, to Fast Budget and obtain a single unified view, through account data aggregation.
