News
In September 2023, there was a rebranding of Optiopay to Clink and a realignment of the company. The founders have left the company and a new CEO has taken over. Clink aims to link loyalty programs directly to bank accounts and simplify rewards for customers. This is the second major transition for the company, which has a small team working on the new product. Existing investors continue to support the company, while the company has returned its banking license and plans to partner with Tink for open banking services. This pivot is seen as the last chance for the company to succeed.
Conclusion
We could not find anything negative around the company, but due to the returned license and the 2nd realignment of the company, we rate them ORANGE for the time being.
