Our take
The recent innovations of open banking allow businesses to develop financial software and banking products for consumers, but achieving this can be difficult. Businesses must hire specialized fintech developers and engineers to develop infrastructure and gain access to open banking networks, and this can quickly become too expensive and difficult to develop.
Tarabut Gateways provides an open banking API platform, helping its clients to connect their financial software products to open banking networks via APIs. The platform's API includes a turn-key solution for automated open banking compliance, whilst also facilitating access to real-time financial data, payment initiation, and consulting services.
Whilst there are various open banking APIs already on the market, Tarabut has uniquely included consultation services within its API, helping clients to devise open banking strategies and maximize growth. The inclusion of automated open banking compliance also helps the company stand out, helping clients to rapidly develop open banking products without requiring compliance expertise.
