Putting the customer first in the emerging economy of embedded finance

Axway and Akoya have joined forces to provide comprehensive and secure connectivity to share customer financial data with the entire fintech ecosystem, based on common, open standards.

Based on Financial Data Exchange (FDX) API specification, the de facto North American open banking standard, financial institutions (FIs) can leverage Axway and Akoya’s combined solutions to quickly and easily publish external APIs that enable their customers to securely share their data with the fintech services they demand.
