In a world where financial empowerment and convenience are very important, open banking emerges as a beacon of innovation, guiding a more insightful and user-friendly approach to personal finance management (PFM).
What Is Open Banking?
Open banking is an ecosystem where traditional banks and financial institutions open their data for secure access by third-party providers (TPPs) with the customer's consent. This revolutionary practice is powered by Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), which allow for seamless integration and data sharing between different financial platforms.
