Frequently asked questions

Find the answers to the most common questions about our Open Banking platform.

How do APIs facilitate open banking and what standards are followed in the US?

APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, are the foundation of open banking, enabling third-party developers to access and utilize the functionalities of banking systems in a secure and controlled manner. APIs serve as the essential "bridges" that facilitate seamless communication and interaction between software systems. 

In the United States, there is currently no widely adopted or regulated singular standard. However, various protocols and standards have emerged to address this, including the Financial Data Exchange (FDX) standard. FDX is a unified protocol with the objective of establishing a secure and interoperable standard for sharing consumer financial data.

Despite the lack of a singular standard, it is crucial for API implementations to be built with security, scalability, and interoperability in mind to facilitate secure data exchanges.

What is open banking and how does it work in the USA?

Open banking is a system where banks and other financial institutions provide access to their data via application programming interfaces (APIs). This enables third-party developers to build innovative applications and services around financial institutions. Open banking is intended to provide more consumer choices, improve the customer experience, and promote economic efficiency. While open banking is mandated by regulations like PSD2 in Europe, its advancement in the USA is primarily driven by market forces and the competitive landscape between banks and fintech companies.

What are the potential benefits and risks of open banking in the USA?

The potential benefits of open banking include a more competitive market, increased innovation, better financial management tools, and better, more customized products and services for consumers. However, open banking also introduces new risks, particularly concerning data privacy and security. With an increasing number of third parties gaining access to sensitive financial data, the potential for data breaches or misuse of information becomes more pronounced.
