Unlocking opportunities in the API economy
Innopay & Deustche Bank – August 2018
Market disruption, client evolution and regulatory change mean that the banking and corporate world is preparing for an API and Open Banking revolution. Making a success of it will require both collaboration and standardisation
In Europe, in addition to the general drivers prompting API development among businesses – extending business reach, improving time to market, developing new partnerships, nurturing new business models and fostering agility and innovation – APIs have become particularly relevant by reason of Europe’s second payment services directive, PSD2.
While it came into force on 13 January 2018, PSD2’s most transformational provisions have yet to come into full effect. From September 2019, they will oblige banks to give third-party payment providers access to their customer accounts through a new interface. There seems to be industry consensus that APIs will provide the most secure and effective means of providing this.
