Apidays 2023 - London | Apidays | 14 October 2023 | London

Banks have been forced by regulation to open APIs, because of a lack of innovation in the past 20 years. This opened up the “Fintech Era”, where entrepreneurs and capital investors have seen the opportunity to collect the value that they will capture from the banks.

But some banks “fought back”, and embraced open banking beyond regulation as an opportunity to develop platform banking and ecosystem banking, all powered by APIs. To do so, they had to develop an API mindset across the entire organization, from the practitioners to the business stakeholders to the top management.

Today, there is a tense relationship between banks and fintechs in delivering value to the customers. Will banks be able to become platforms through their API strategy? Will they develop end-user applications to compete with their fintech ecosystem? Will Fintech continue to consume Banks’ APIs instead of building their own capabilities?
