As APIs are revolutionizing the financial services industry by making core banking functionality digitally and programmatically available both inside the organization and outside to third parties, open banking is opening up the traditional value chain of financial services and making it more broadly accessible. To support and adapt to changing customer needs, Software AG has initiated a new industry-wide open banking focus which aligns with its API-first digital strategy and complements the Software AG proposition across Europe.

Konsentus provides a central service with checks and balances integrated into all core components to ensure a safe and secure environment, irrespective of the individual access permissions held. It also delivers data intelligence on all participants in the ecosystem and complete oversight of all the components.

The partnership will be leveraged in international markets where strategy and potential are aligned. The Konsentus group has open banking operations in Latam, the Middle East and South-East Asia and is working with central banks and regulators in these jurisdictions to accelerate the implementation of trusted and secure open ecosystems.
