Key Characteristics

---

The openFinance API Framework offers a modern, open, harmonised and interoperable set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) as the safest and most efficient way to provide data securely, enabling European banking customers to benefit from innovative products and services (‘Banking as a Service’) by granting TPPs safe and secure (authenticated and authorised) access to their bank accounts and financial data.

• Modern “RESTful” API set using HTTP/1.1 with TLS 1.2 (or higher) as transport protocol
• TPP identification by ETSI-defined eIDAS certificates: QWACS mandated (easy measure to protect e.g. against DDOS attacks), QSEALS optional for banks (TPP follows instruction by bank)
• Building on all NextGenPSD2 AIS, PIS and CoF use cases
• Third Party Provider access beyond PSD2
• GDPR compliant consent model beyond PSD2
• Support of Direct Access for PSUs / Corporates
• eCommerce support
• Discovery service to obtain the specific implementation details
• Multilevel SCA/Corporate Banking support
