Introduction

The Universal Connect Widget (UCW) is a reimagined, self‑hosted connect solution that improves connection success rates between your users and their financial institutions. The widget handles searching for institutions, gathering credentials, and connecting to the end user's accounts.

Instead of forcing a single aggregator for every connection, UCW lets you control aggregator routing so you can steer traffic to what performs best.

To view the API docs, open our specification file in your preferred tool, such as Swagger editor.
