With 25+ years of deep industry experience in transforming legacy banking technology, Opus helps banks, financial institutions, credit unions, and service providers embrace the digital future through open banking, the Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN), financial-grade APIs (FAPI), embedded finance, and API-first cloud-native solutions.
Dependence on legacy applications makes it difficult to upgrade to the latest technology standards
Lack of expert knowledge in relation to the adoption and implementation of APIs and microservices
Absence of industry-wide consensus around the benefits of standardization in API definitions
Inability to innovate at the pace of upcoming FinTech startups
Need for a common repository to store API data and source code
Inadequate industry-recognized banking technology framework that simplifies and standardized integration with core banking architecture across the financial services ecosystem
The API revolution has transformed the way banks and Fintechs work to provide financial services. Given the role APIs play in enabling technology-driven financial products and services, BIAN and Open Banking have become critical to the delivery framework.

API modernization is an approach to transforming legacy APIs and services to make them configurable with modern technology frameworks. This also includes employing best practices for managing the API lifecycle and securing data layers through the latest security standards such as OAuth 2.0 and JWT.
API, or Application Programming Interface, is a software application that allows data exchange between two applications, services, or programs. As an intermediary layer, APIs contain protocols that allow applications to request and share data.
An experience API replicates customer workflows and integrates them as a service for delivering business capabilities. This approach promotes customer engagement and opens up new revenue channels.
Security and standardization are among the main characteristics of modern APIs. They are easy to scale and integrate, developer-friendly, and well documented.
A capability API is based on the way core banking services work and integrate. In contrast, an experience API is focused on how a customer interacts with the data and the system.
