1st open banking solution in Portugal
49% of all aggregations are not CGD
Michael Lokner, Senior Technical Account Manager, TinkWe didn’t work on the project as CGD and Tink, but rather as a single DABOX team across multiple countries, where we were constantly in contact, working together in real time. It showed us that when a bank like CGD is focused on achieving something so forward thinking, even us at Tink had to give 200% to keep up.
I'm really excited for the future of DABOX – it’s such a huge step forward in tech, design and even marketing, that only the sky is the limit for what CGD will do next with it, and I really want to see what that will be.
