A for API

APIs: the magic glue that connects islands of data and unwraps new possibilities for businesses.

The banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector has always been lukewarm in adopting the latest technological innovations. Being the nerve center of all human activity in the world, it is understandable that the BFSI sector has been relatively conservative in readily adopting new tech, as untested waters bring in security concerns of varied hues.

However, the times are changing, more so in the last decade, with cloud and mobile technology having been able to not only prove efficacy, but also provide better security over static, on-premise technology. This unhinging of software from on-premise to the cloud, coupled with the infinite scalability and flexibility offered by API technology has spurred a wave of innovation in the FinTech industry in the past decade, with more to follow in the coming years.

First comes Open Banking practice, that unites third party financial services, open access to BFSI data to enable new services, and to expedite existing processes. This has opened the floodgates of financial services to both individuals and for institutions to execute decisions and enable processes in real-time, offering unprecedented convenience. Processes that took days to push are now available at a few clicks, taps, and swipes, enabling exponential growth in the delivery of financial services, such as lending. Managing investments, processing payments, and regulatory compliance have all become a cakewalk to institutions, thanks to the power of finance APIs.

Personal Data: To share, or not to share:

The trade off has always been debated, but there is no denying the fact that, if rightfully done (meaning: with consent and regulatory approval), APIs are bridges that link different islands of data to enable services at a fraction of the cost, and the maximum convenience of all parties involved. No sweat. Finance APIs enable third party access to data in a super secure and efficient manner, on a ‘need to know’ basis.

Same door, different cats: Permutations and combinations galore:
