Traditionally, banks have held monopoly over their customer data, leading to limited choice of products and services to end consumers. With Open Banking, this is set to change as banks are being mandated to share this data via APIs with third parties, with a view to promote competition and hence better choice for customers. Banks are looking to turn this regulatory hurdle into opportunity, even in geographies where the regulations are yet to come, by partnering with Fintech to offer their APIs (data and payments) to third party developers.
Ask:
1. API marketplace: create and offer open APIs to facilitate industry standardisation and creation of innovative customer-centric solutions
2. API management: solutions for administration, authentication, authorisation etc. of APIs
3. Developer platforms and sandboxes
