The imperatives for the success of your open finance initiative

GFT’s open finance roadmap

Understand the scope, objectives and priorities of your open finance program and secure executive commitment. Goals must be clear and communicated from the top down.

Adopt the right target operating model to deliver quantifiable open finance business benefits.

Consider APIs as products and commit to continuous optimization and improvement.

Think cloud to ensure your solution is secure, open, and scalable. With cloud, you avoid unnecessary workloads on your core systems.

Use modern methods, such as agile and DevOps, and implement a fully automated CI/CD pipeline for iterative build and release directly to production systems.

Engage early with third-party partners and the external developer community to encourage participation in development and prioritization of your roadmap.

Learn lessons from open banking in the UK and PSD2 across Europe, and leverage successful approaches from other jurisdictions.

Keep abreast of regulations and build an open relationship with the regulators. Your success is in their interest.

GFT recommends a two-phase, multistream approach to open finance as the optimal approach. This facilitates concentration on the important aspects of business readiness and enablement, data availability and accessibility, community engagement and preparedness and finally compliance with competitive advantage.
