Open Banking Compliance Architecture

What is Open Banking Compliance Architecture?

In the age of digital finance, compliance is not just a requirement but a cornerstone for trust and integrity. obconnect specialises in Open Banking architecture designed for banks and financial institutions that need to meet PSD2 Regulatory Compliance.

With PSD2, organisations must provide real-time access to APIs for FCA Regulated Third Party Suppliers (TPPs) and Fintechs. These APIs facilitate Account Information Requests and Payment Initiation. Open Banking is the UK’s standard approach for PSD2 compliance, and with obconnect, achieving this is streamlined and secure.

How Open Banking Compliance Architecture works

When complying with Open Banking, Banks must securely expose information to Regulated TPPs. To do this there is a process whereby TPPs must register securely with Banks. Then with the consent of the Customer be able to access Account Information or Initiate Payments on behalf of the Customer. The components and architecture to deliver this is very complex. obconnect can help Banks define and deploy their architecture. We also provide a Software as a Solution (SaaS) that banks can plug in to in order to deliver their compliance allowing obconnect to take the strain of the complex and difficult componentry.
