Introduction to Qwist Link

each customers without a backend integration. Share a link, users connect their bank in seconds, and artifacts appear in the Qwist Console.

Qwist Link is the no-code path to nrich's data products. Instead of a server-to-server API integration, you construct a static URL containing your client_id and a user identifier, and forward it to your end user - by email, SMS, or as a button on a webpage.

When the user opens the link, they go through the standard nrich Widget flow: bank selection, authentication, and consent. Once complete, the resulting data - accounts, transactions, and any reports your application is configured for - becomes available in the Qwist Console.

What this solves

You want to validate a use case before committing to an integration - Running a pilot with real customer data takes weeks if you need a backend integration first. With Qwist Link, you can reach real users in a day with no code.

Your customer volume is low or ad-hoc - For teams managing a smaller portfolio - lenders, advisors, accountants - Qwist Link can be a permanent workflow. Share a link with each customer, collect data via the Console, and process it manually or export as JSON.

You need ad-hoc data collection - Compliance reviews, one-off affordability checks, re-engagement campaigns: any situation where you want to trigger a bank connection for a specific user without provisioning a backend flow.

Your team is not technical - Operations or compliance teams can generate and distribute Qwist Links directly from a spreadsheet or email client. No engineering involvement needed.

When to use Qwist Link

Validate a use case

Collect real bank data before scoping a full API integration. Confirm your business case with actual customers, not synthetic data.

Run a pilot

Go live with a small group of users in production. No frontend or backend integration required on your side.

Small portfolio workflows

For advisors, lenders, or compliance teams managing a contained customer set - Qwist Link can be a permanent, no-code workflow.

Ad-hoc data collection

Trigger a bank connection for a specific user via email or SMS without building a dedicated flow in your product.

For high-volume, real-time, or programmatically driven use cases, use the API-based implementation guides for each product.
