  Jamie here, one of the Founders of Heron Data. After personally-spinning up many hundreds of classification and merchant enrichment models, we are launching a full self-signup and free trial flow. Anyone can now test out our product without a sales call. You get 2 weeks free use of the API and there is no credit card required. The only difference between the trial and production APIs is a slightly lower rate limit for the trial endpoints. Excited to see what you guys build!

  What is Heron Data? We are a YC-backed software company who has felt the pain of working with bank data first hand. We have two product lines which tackle the things we thought most sucked when working with bank & card data:

  1) Enrichment: add clean merchant names, icons, URLs, MCC codes, and other metadata to card and bank transactions. These transactions can be from a card you issue, a checking account you host, or pulled via an aggregator like Plaid / Yodlee / Finicity / Tink / TrueLayer / etc. PH launch for consumer applications: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/heron-data-2 & SMB applications: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/heron-data

  2) Lending: recreate a businesses P&L + financial ratios from their bank data to better understand companies’ financial health. This is great for any Fintech leveraging bank data or issuing cards for SMBs. PH launch here: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/heron-data-smb-insights
