How Tribe can help…

In 2020, Tribe launched initial compliance APIs for fintechs to harness the power of Open Banking without developing their own APIs. Since then, we’ve continued investing in further Open Banking functionality.

Tribe has created a set of APIs which communicate directly with our ISAAC processing platform to give you the relevant data and compliance setup, as well as giving you the foundation to build on as your Open Banking requirements grow.

Inbound access:

If you would like to allow TPPs to access your users accounts for the purposes of requesting a payment, or providing account information through their own app or site, Tribe can provide an ‘inbound access’ API. 

We have partnered with Open Banking Europe to enable verification of approved third parties, so you can ensure that only registered TPPs can gain access.

Outbound access:

We also offer several sets of APIs that enable fintechs to use their customer’s permission to initiate payments or account information requests from third parties. This enables you to deliver a richer experience within your mobile application. 

Plus, you can couple Tribe’s Open Banking APIs with our Digital Banking product to enable better visibility of data and an enriched user experience.
