APIfication is a process to develop APIs to collaborate with internal or external applications. The process allows banks and financial institutions to expose assets so that multiple applications can communicate or share data to offer a solution. The approach helps in building new capabilities and streamlining operations.
In a service delivery model, APIfication allows you to deliver a new set of services without the need to develop those services from scratch. APIfication as a process involves creating a rich repository of APIs that can then be used by developers, partners, or internal stakeholders to integrate with unique business functionalities. This approach opens a gateway to an API-based marketplace and promotes co-creation.
With the emergence of open banking, financial-grade APIs, and embedded finance, APIfication can certainly offer a competitive advantage to banking institutions. An organization that has completed the process of APIfication will be able to streamline internal processes and data acquisition. Along with that, a financial institution with an API-rich framework will have the flexibility to collaborate with FinTechs and BigTechs to offer unique and customized service offerings.
