Open Banking
Open Banking Fundamentals
A ground-up path into regulated data sharing and payment initiation: standards thinking, security, and product design—whether you target EU-style PSD2 or analogous markets.
Format: 2 weeks · instructor-led or self-paced options · certificate of completion · examples from our production builds (Meras, Infinipi, and others).
What you will be able to do
- Explain why open banking exists and how TPP/ASPSP incentives differ.
- Navigate consent UX patterns that reduce drop-off while staying compliant.
- Read API specs pragmatically: accounts, balances, transactions, payments.
- Prototype an integration architecture with sandboxes and certificates.
- Anticipate operational issues: PSU migration, revoked consent, data latency.
- Connect to real product ideas: PFM, lending, verification, merchant checkout.
Syllabus
Week 1 — Concepts, security & AIS
- History and policy drivers: competition, innovation, consumer protection.
- Actors and trust models: directories, registry, QA certificates.
- Consent UX deep dive: clarity, granularity, renewals, withdrawal.
- Authentication journeys: redirect, app-to-app, decoupled introductions.
- AIS use cases: aggregation, verification, affordability signals (ethics).
- Data quality: transaction categorization, duplicates, timing delays.
- Hands-on: map a sandbox onboarding checklist.
Week 2 — PIS introduction & productization
- PIS user journeys vs cards; when bank pay wins on UX or cost.
- Payment status models and reconciliation to merchant orders.
- Developer experience: SDK strategy, error translation, support tooling.
- Commercial models: interchange vs open banking pricing realities.
- Global lens: UK/EU vs emerging open finance regimes—pattern transfer.
- Capstone: mini product brief + integration diagram for one use case.
