We built Heron Data because we experienced first hand the massive time sink of shipping internal tooling to clean up transaction data at our first Fintech.

We don’t want other makers who are pulling data from Yodlee / Plaid / etc. or issuing cards & current accounts to have to reinvent the wheel like we did. We now enrich over 1m transactions each day.

Lots of companies come to us at the idea validation stage while they can’t afford to pay anything. In the past we haven’t been able to help.

We are really happy to launch this free tier today so you can benefit from our cutting edge ML & NER at a lightning fast latency regardless of budget.

If you want a higher rate limit or to leverage our full feature set (which includes recurrence, categories, a Lending Dashboard, and much more), email jamie@herondata.io.

Cheers on this. Seems like it will save massive amounts of lift for data and risk teams. Notwithstanding price, is there a minimum amount of transaction data required to start?

Are there any plans to include location metadata for merchants with a physical presence?

Can you elaborate on what I get with the free API?
