Open Banking 2021: Trends in Business and Technology*

(*Webinars only available in German)

In 2021, the digitization of the banking world will accelerate significantly once again. In our webinars, we want to show what opportunities banks have to leverage this development for their business: both in the form of more efficient technological solutions and through new revenue streams. In the first episode, we present a concrete use case: digital asset management (Open Wealth), and in the second episode, we explore the benefits of a scalable API management platform.

API interfaces are key to the digitalization of the financial industry. In times of hyper-digitization, their importance is therefore increasing rapidly. But not only is the absolute number of APIs in the financial industry growing, but with them the number of microservices and API-driven business models. However, the development and maintenance of APIs are so time-consuming that it is worthwhile for banks to calculate whether, or at what number, it is more efficient to outsource both to specialized external service providers. This not only reduces the maintenance effort, but also offers the possibility of scaling technological connections quickly and massively.
