Institutions are borrowed from the MX terminology. Per their documentation:

"An institution represents a financial institution (FI) like Chase or Wells Fargo. It’s important to point out that many real-world FI will actually have several different institution objects within the MX Platform API. This is because, for example, the mortgage division of Wells Fargo might use a separate system than its everyday banking division, which is different from its credit card division, etc."

While the LinkMoney API does not use the item system in its underlying data scheme, it still leverages the term in MX endpoints to help with the transition from the MX platform.

Developers can use the MX Item endpoints to retrieve items from the LinkMoney API. As with MX, these Items will include only data associated with a login from a single institution.

Read institution.

Endpoint: GET /institutions/:institution_code
