UK Open Banking
A demo of Open Banking APIs in the UK
In February 2016, a group of experts from the banking, FinTech, security and open data communities published a framework to deliver an open standard for Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for UK banks. This work, led by HM Treasury, aims to increase competition and innovation in and around banking to improve outcomes for customers and thus further support the UK’s world-leading FinTech industry.
We at the Open Bank Project, took this opportunity to reveal the first Open Banking API sandbox specifically targeted at supporting discussion around the UK Open Banking standard. The sandbox we are showing today provides a selection of API calls relevant to the UK Open Banking Standards report. Feel free to explore the calls. We believe our technology gives the UK a tremendous headstart and access to a vibrant Fintech developer community.
