Open Banking derives from EU’s Payment Services Directive II (PSD2). Consequently, the regulation mandates banks to share customer data with third party players to boost competition in the industry.
Through the new platform, SIA intends to improve collaboration between banks and new market entrants. The intention is also to facilitate development of advanced services.
The new proposition’s cloud-based services have been designed to reduce development costs and speed up time-to-market.
It offers access to information related to bank accounts. In addition, it supports optimisation in customer onboarding as well as cash-pooling and liquidity management.
