This document discusses the Open Bank Project, which aims to accelerate banking innovation through open APIs. It provides an overview of the project's vision of banks operating as platforms, challenges currently facing banks around outdated systems and changing customer expectations, and how the Open Bank Project works to address these issues by developing an open source API for banks and facilitating an ecosystem of third-party applications. Key points covered include the project's API, developer tools, deployment options, and some past participants that have implemented the Open Bank Project API.
8. Our Vision
1995!
Why do we need a
Web site?!
2000! 2010! 2020!
Of course we have
a Web site!
Of course we
have an API!
Why do we need
an API?!
In the future, every bank will have an API
“By 2016, 75% of the top 50 global banks will have launched an API platform and 25%
will have launched a customer-facing app store”!
“Bank as a Platform”: Modern, open APIs accelerate sustainable and
secure customer-centric banking innovation by leveraging an ecosystem
of third party applications and services. !
