CROSS-ASSET BANKING API SERVICES
Starfish Open Banking APIs

Key Challenges
-
Security, privacy, and resilience – Financial transactions require the highest levels of security, privacy, and business critical resilience. While banks invest heavily on information security controls and high availability, dissimilar levels of investment at the corporate client may potentially expose the service to disruption and data leakage.
-
File based integration – Limited exception handling on format mismatches, manual failure recovery following network or system outages, weak controls for file tampering and man-in-the-middle breaches, and long customer onboarding times, are just a few of the challenges avoided by a SaaS and API approach.
-
Technology capabilities – Many companies do not have a digital strategy, underlying infrastructure, processes, and inter-operability capabilities.
-
Technical debt – Companies often have antiquated systems or legacy debt inhibiting financial transparency and dynamic decision making.
