Solution

STEP 1 – Provide a proper identification of merchants

‍

After the initial cooperation started at the end of 2017, an important first step for Tapix was to make all the merchants and stores locations in the digital environment easy to find and manage. By making the localization more informative and understandable Twisto made sure users had a complete knowledge of where the purchases were made.

STEP 2 – Add more detailed transaction details

Transaction details are available in the Twisto app since march 2018. Next step was to expand and enrich the categorization of purchases to provide users with an even better understanding of their spending habits, as well as a more convenient way to track and manage their finances.

STEP 3 – Create a seamless user experience with enriched data

In order to make a smart financial decisions, the platform needs to be as simple and seamless as possible. Enriched data from Tapix made sure all the purchases, merchants and locations were easily understandable while being visually pleasing thanks to brand new logos and graphics.

Integration

Tapix uses the in-house REST API that enabled Twisto to provide their customers with more accurate and up-to-date information about merchant locations, names, logos, and URLs.  

Tapix also makes it possible for customers to view the exact history of transactions in the banking application. This is especially useful for making payments for recurring expenses such as subscriptions for services like Netflix or Spotify.  

Results

With overall data integration accuracy being 99,99 %, Tapix managed to provide an easy and convenient way for Twisto to improve the quality of information available to their customers while also making it simpler and more efficient to manage payments. All of that is supported by 25 merchant categories with more than 250k recognized merchants and 850k unique shops and locations, adding an extra layer of information for the clients.

“In the beginning, we wanted to offer our customers the best deals and a cashback feature, but we have found that having a better view of transactions is more valuable to our users.”
