Payset to Offer Open Banking Capabilities
Payset is set to bring customers yet another technological advancement with the launch of Open Banking. The innovation will revolutionize banking, and Payset will be at the forefront. So, what is Open Banking, and what will it do for you?
What Is Open Banking?
Open banking, (also known as "open bank data") is a new banking practice that allows the networking of accounts and data between different financial institutions via secure computer application programming interfaces (APIS) for use by the institutions and their clients. In other words, Open Banking is a new technology that will reshape the architecture of the financial system by making common transactions between institutions faster and more efficient.
Here's how it works:
On the bank's end, third-party financial service providers can gain open access to financial data such as transaction history and balances so that, when a client applies for a loan, for instance, a credit institution can quickly see historical data to determine eligibility.
On the client's end, there are numerous benefits. Open Banking will allow Payset clients to connect their Payset account to other financial institutions so that their various accounts can be controlled from a single dashboard. It will also allow you to connect your account to ERP's such as NetSuite and Xero in order to automate and better organize accounting, risk management, compliance, and so much more. It will also allow you to purchase goods and services using your Payset account via a secure checkout directly from the merchant's website.
What Will Open Banking Do for Payset Clients?
By bringing Open Banking to customers, Payset can ensure that they are at the forefront of new technology in the banking sector. It will facilitate faster, frictionless transactions, allow clients to manage financial services not available in their Payset account directly from their dashboard, and, because it is built on a custom API, Payset's Open Banking solution will always be evolving to provide new use cases. The addition of Open Banking will increase the efficiency of payments and financial management and this will be highly valuable for Payset’s business customers.
With Open Banking you can:
- Connect your Payset account to other financial institutions so that their various accounts can be controlled from a single dashboard
- Connect your account to ERP's such as NetSuite and Xero in order to automate and better organize accounting, risk management, compliance, and so much more
