Agile Adoption in Open Banking: Practical Examples of How the Industry is Driving Open Banking Through API-centric Integration

The nature of financial services is changing with the emergence of new business models based on banking services provided through broad distribution across partner ecosystems. Also, new regulations are pushing towards greater financial services transparency while at the same time opening up the industry to competition from non-banks.

To meet these challenges, financial services organizations have had to shift from a traditional centralized integration approach to a distributed approach, where agility becomes a priority. APIs are part of the answer as they provide development teams with the resources to quickly find, test, and implement new services developed both inside and outside their company. But why is the development of APIs alone not sufficient to enable the rapid adoption of standardized services by the industry? Why do FSI organizations require a comprehensive end-to-end integration strategy?
