About Us & Our Partners

Our core team were consultants to UK’s OBIE from its start in 2017 to June 2020 when we successfully handed over to permanent staff.  Our role was to support the delivery of OB to all participants.

We are proud to be partnered with other key capabilities, also predominantly from the UK’s OBIE.  Below are details of:

  • Our People – our core team and representatives in UK, Latin America and Africa
  • Our Partners – world-leading expertise and innovation in ecosystem components

Our original role was to support the delivery of OB to all participants in the ‘Central Testing’ team, providing:
▪ Participant support
▪ Advice for Fintechs (TPPs) and Banks (ASPSPs)
▪ Ecosystem coordination
▪ Coordinating standards implementations
▪ Collaboration with all OB teams
▪ Monitoring and predicting ecosystem growth

From this initial start we have since grown, and are now active in;
▪ Brasil – supporting Open Banking ecosystem coordination and development
▪ Mexico – Standards design and development
▪ UK – We continue to be active there, supporting a large community of participants
▪ Also in Chile, Peru and South Africa

Based on extensive UK and international experience over many years, we can bring unparalleled ‘lessons learned’ and ‘future possibilities’ to Open initiatives Worldwide.

We support and enable ALL partners to achieve success.

Our People

We firmly believe in a framework of International Expertise supporting Local Knowledge to offer the best of both worlds.  Every member of our team either has deep experience of delivering Open Banking ecosystems and/or extensive local experience gained over many years.

Our Partners

Whilst our methodology is broadly solution-agnostic, we are proud to collaborate closely with the following renowned operators. All have deep expertise in Open Banking, in the UK and elsewhere in the World.

We believe that a complete Open ecosystem (Banking, Finance etc) consists of three essential elements

Identity and Access Management components, for secure and confident transactions between participants

Integration components for ease of TPP and ASPSP engagement in the ecosystem

Security, for underlying confidence, identification and resolution of issues and challenges to the ecosystem

Identity

Raidiam’s Trust Framework (aka ‘Directory) enables all participants to be reliably identified to each other and securely communicate with confidence.  They developed the UK OBIE’s solution, and have just delivered the first successful Production framework outside the UK, in Brazil.  They are World Leaders.

Integration

OBConnect have a unique offering, via their ‘Peer to Peer’ model in which the integration components are represented at the participant level. They do not mediate centrally, as do other integrators, using the APIs as defined in the Country’s standards. They are the only integrator able to provide both ASPSP and TPP accelerator modules, typically reducing integration times by 70%.

Security

Obcessr have deep experience of Security in an Open Banking environment, with key founders of the Company working in the UK’s OBIE. They offer security monitoring and alerting (including a unique dark web capability), cyber security assessments, digital forensics and a scalable Security Operations Centre (SOC).
