Open banking using a standardized XS2A API

Under the Second Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2), banks are required to allow a third party provider (TPP) authorized by the consumer to view account information and/or carry out certain actions, such as making a payment. This is done via banking APIs. Licensed service providers may also use these interfaces – with the permission of and on behalf of the respective bank customer – to access account data and analyze it in order to offer financial services products. By using the finAPI Access-to-Account (XS2A) interface, you do not need to worry about compliance with the PSD2 payment services directive. We have already done all the hard work for you.
