Open Banking is breaking down data silos, accelerating digital payments, and enabling new customer-centric innovations. But behind this bold shift lies a technical reality: Open Banking ecosystems demand high availability, airtight security, and lightning-fast performance.
With the rise of APIs, dynamic payment flows, and data-sharing mandates, financial institutions and fintechs can’t afford infrastructure that falters under pressure. A10 delivers the tools that make Open Banking not only possible but scalable and secure.
Open Banking: The Opportunity and the Challenge
Open Banking enables consumers to authorise secure data access to third-party providers, unlocking everything from budgeting apps and investment tools to real-time payment alternatives. Businesses benefit too, gaining faster onboarding, instant credit checks, and operational efficiency.
But for all this to work seamlessly, the backend must be able to:
- Handle surges in API traffic during peak transaction times.
- Mitigate threats targeting exposed financial interfaces.
- Maintain compliance with ever-evolving regulatory requirements.
- Deliver high-speed, uninterrupted service across multiple platforms.
