- Give consumers greater insight and control over their money as well as service options.
- Simplify collaboration between departments and organizations.
- Adopt modern, microservice architectures and animated workflows.
What Are Open APIs in Banking?
Open APIs in banking are the application programming interfaces that enable internal and third-party developers to connect with new and existing financial systems, including legacy, “black box” siloes.
How Can Open Source Help Improve the Success of Open Banking Initiatives?
To compete — and in some cases, comply with regulations — financial service organizations must adopt open banking initiatives. Success is easier, however, when organizations design and deploy solutions that address challenges and requirements holistically.
