QWIST LAUNCHES NO-CODE QWIST LINK AND QLARC AI ASSISTANT TO ADDRESS OPEN FINANCE ADOPTION BARRIERS

Qwist Link Takes Connectivity Beyond PSD2 API with Less than 48h Integration. Using MCP, Qwist Launches Qlarc, an AI Assistant that Helps Analyze Financial Data Using Plain Language.

Qwist Group today announced the launch of Qwist Link and Qlarc, two new products designed to remove the biggest barriers preventing businesses from fully adopting Open Finance: complex integrations, infrastructure gaps, and inaccessible financial data.
The launch positions Qwist beyond conventional API providers by combining rapid Open Finance connectivity with AI-powered data interaction, enabling businesses to move from integration to activation significantly faster.
For banks, fintechs, and digital businesses operating in increasingly regulated environments, the challenge is no longer simply accessing financial data, it is turning that data into operational speed, better customer experiences, and new revenue opportunities. Qwist’s latest products releases solve exactly that.

Open Finance Connectivity in Less Than 48 Hours
At the center of the launch is Qwist Link, a no-code integration layer that enables businesses to connect to Open Finance infrastructure and access data within 48 hours. By removing lengthy development cycles and reducing technical overhead, Qwist Link significantly simplifies the entry for companies looking to launch or scale Open Finance capabilities.
The product is designed for rapid onboarding, testing, and deployment, making it particularly valuable for SMEs, fintechs, eCommerce platforms, and regulated businesses that need compliant infrastructure without enterprise-level implementation timelines. Unlike traditional API integrations that can take weeks or months, Qwist Link allows companies to move from concept to deployment almost immediately.

Financial Data Management Through Conversation
Alongside Qwist Link, the company introduces Qlarc, its first version of the MCP-based AI assistant that allows users to analyze and manage financial data using Natural Language Processing. Rather than navigating fragmented dashboards or complex datasets, businesses can interact with financial information conversationally, accelerating decision-making and making Open Finance infrastructure significantly more accessible across teams.

Qlarc assistant enables users to:
• Analyze financial data in plain language
• Simplify verification and risk workflows
• Extract actionable insights faster
• Reduce operational complexity
• Improve speed-to-decision across payments, lending, and onboarding flows

The launch reflects a broader shift toward AI-native financial infrastructure, where businesses increasingly expect the same simplicity from financial systems as they do from consumer AI tools.

From Compliance to Revenue Generation.
Qwist’s broader strategy is to reposition Open Finance from a compliance obligation into a commercial growth driver. The company’s product suite is built around three core pillars:
Connect - enables secure connectivity to financial data from regulated financial institutions to any business leveraging open banking frameworks.
Assess - focuses on data harmonization, improving risk assessment, and verification.
Activate - activates this data through solutions such as Account Switch, Account Verification, and Pay by Bank transforming data access into tangible business outcomes.

Each product can be implemented separately, as a module or a full suite of Open Finance products through the Qwist Console. Qwist Console serves as the central access point for all Qwist products, designed for immediate usability and flexibility. Both existing clients and prospective users can access the console via signup.

Qwist develops financial solutions engineered for what’s next. We saw the market's need for faster onboarding but also access to a sandboxing environment, and this (among other benefits) is what Qwist Link provides. Qlarc is the logical next step toward the future of banking; we want our clients to stay ahead of innovation and benefit from the speed and ease of AI-native interfaces. – Dario Rinaldi, CTO of Qwist
