Enhance data accessibility

Open Banking mandates banks to open up access to customer financial data (with customer consent) to third-party providers. This shift creates a landscape where data is more freely accessible, allowing for innovative financial services and applications.

Build personalized financial services

The availability of rich, customer-centric data enables third-party providers and financial institutions to tailor services. This can lead to more personalized banking experiences, better financial advice, and customized product offerings.

Gain a competitive advantage

The commercialization of Open Banking enables lending, credit assessment, payment capability, reconciliation, and more. The data-driven landscape fosters innovation as established banks and new entrants can develop novel products and services.

Cutting-edge financial institutions frequently operate in environments that may introduce unpredictable traffic demand. Kong’s platform provides customers with the dynamic scalability they need to ensure efficient use of compute resources across cloud and on-prem environments.
