Thanks to open banking, companies from a wide range of industries can benefit from countless application possibilities along the entire digital customer journey. These possibilities go far beyond banking. Look at use cases and the corresponding finAPI solutions in our “finAPI Open Banking Update” and here on our website.

Check address, age & identity

Proof of creditworthiness

Have you ever declined a sale or not concluded a contract because you do not have sufficient information to say yes? With finAPI GiroCheck customers can prove their current creditworthiness via a one-time account check for example in the checkout of online stores. Companies can expand their pool of potential customers without taking on additional risks.

Receivables management

finAPI DebitFlex means customer-oriented receivables management, less stress and fewer court cases. After a one-time account check – with the account holder’s consent – finAPI determines the payment option most likely to result in full repayment: Immediate payment, deferred payment or an installment plan.

Accounting

Accounting processes can be optimized by integrating all your business accounts into your accounting software via a bank interface. You can use this finAPI’s interface for automatic reconciliation as well as for executing and receiving payments, receivables management or liquidity planning.
