What is open banking?

Open banking leverages APIs to make it easier for businesses to process payments and gives them better access to financial data. It simplifies and speeds up transactions and enables businesses to build bespoke payment offerings. Open banking also gives greater customers control through stronger payment authorisation and better visibility.

Collect instant one-off or recurring payments, or access financial data like account information and transaction history.
