– Soon enough, with a new update, you’ll also be able to get nearly real-time payments 24/7. This solution will leverage an instant SEPA scheme – your payment will reach us within seconds instead of hours.

You probably know that one of the main Blockchain technology ideas is to be more open and transparent. It seeks to open up informational systems to make data easily accessible and to promote co-creation. Therefore, driven by the needs of the tech-savvy community, traditional banks started to look for seamless and more sophisticated services in terms of payments. Open banking solution tends to fill the gap between blockchain space and fiat transactions. 

What does open banking do?

Briefly, open banking allows to shift from card payments to bank payments, building direct bank link payment methods and data aggregation solutions from consumers’ bank to merchant or payment processor. Token.io has developed an application programming interface (API) that gives access to more than 3,000 EU banks. The platform raises security levels, reduces fraud, and disintermediation.

Open banking drives innovation into the banking industry. It chooses networks instead of centralization and helps customers of the financial services to safely share their financial data across financial institutions. 

Through the use of APIs, open banking provides open access to consumers’ banking, transaction and other financial data from bank to third party financial institution with cutting a middleman. 

Watch out for more!

We seek quick, easy and smooth financial services and hopefully, step by step we will continue to deliver a better customer experience.
