2020 accelerated the digitisation of commerce and payments. Companies adapted quickly with resilience, ingenuity and innovation.To build on this shift requires organising the people, process and technology to sustain the change. Collaboration between teams and partners, and a flexible, resilient architecture.

APIs provide the building blocks to achieve this by:

• Connecting to digital marketplaces and distribution channels
• Simplifying identity verification to streamline customer onboarding, service delivery and personalisation
• Enabling customers to authorise the sharing of their data with trusted third parties
• Democratising access to data to support a culture of data-driven decision making
• Embedding finance into the enterprise’s value proposition to serve their customer’s total journey
• Enabling financial institutions and fintechs to focus on their core competence, integrating third party services to provide a holistic customer value proposition

Succeeding in the digital economy requires clarity of purpose, customer insights, unique value proposition and targeted integrations to solve specific needs.
