UK-based fintech startup TrueLayer has extended its partnership with digital smart open banking app sync.​ to help it expand into France and Ireland.

The money management app aims to help customers to set up a budget, and spend and track their money on a single platform, by offering tailored insights.

It does this by leveraging the open banking technology powered by TrueLayer’s API and offering a single view of all bank accounts of a user.

The renewed partnership is in line with sync.’s aim to help European customers budget, manage and track their money from one dashboard.

Earlier this month, sync. secured its e-money licence in the UK from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Last month, the company launched its services across Europe, to offer a complete suite of digital financial services to its users in one place.

sync. co-founder and CEO Ricky Lee said: “This is the next step in our mission to connect all our user’s financial accounts across Europe.

“We are looking to expand our list of supported banks even more in the coming months, working with our great partners such as TrueLayer.”

TrueLayer will now help sync. users to connect their Irish bank accounts including AIB, Permanent TSB, Ulster Bank, and Bank of Ireland.

They can also connect French banks accounts including Banque Populaire, BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole, Crédit Mutuel and Société Générale.

TrueLayer co-founder and CEO Francesco Simoneschi said: “By offering insights and tailored recommendations, delivered through a seamless experience, sync. is empowering users to make more informed decisions.

“We have already seen our collaboration broaden to include Spain and we are happy to now support sync. on its European growth journey as it moves into France and Ireland.”

Recently, TrueLayer secured $25m in a Series C funding round, bringing the total raised by the company to date to $72m.

Last month, TrueLayer and sync. teamed up to launch a smart banking beta in Spain.
