Is API development the future of FinTech?
That future is already here. Can you imagine today’s digital market without the network of third-party service providers, back-office systems, databases, and analytical tools?
This closely-knit web of API gateways and integrations forms the backbone of modern financial services, making them more efficient and comprehensive than ever.
With additional challenges of legal compliance and security demands, building an API that serves both the end users and your organization is a balancing act with high stakes.
Far into the digital era, API-driven development is no longer a question of ‘if’ or ‘when’, but rather ‘how’
Developer Experience (DX) comes into focus in certain API-enabled products, especially when it’s mainly the dev teams that directly interact with a given software. In such cases, stellar documentation, fast setup, easy navigation and troubleshooting are must-haves.
As a result, you can add more value to your current service offering and start monetizing your unique data sets and API usage.
API development services for FinTech
The API universe is expanding…
With Code & Pepper, you’ll get back on track in no time.
Why join the open API ecosystem?
Open source, open banking, open APIs… The rapid adoption rate of ‘open’ solutions is the sign of our times: the era of open finance. Even incumbents are warming up to ecosystems and platforms, integrating with API solutions built by tech-savvy FinTechs.
The window of opportunity is still open, but you need a solid API strategy to make it a smooth transition and keep risks in check. FinTechs entering this B2B niche should be able to anticipate and solve the key pain points of their prospective partners.
How to make an API both adaptable and secure? What tools and frameworks are optimal for your business model? How do they relate to the business models of your target groups? What can you do to give your B2B customers the optimal API experience?
These and other key questions are easier to define and answer with an expert API team on board. If you don’t have one yet, try Code & Pepper and spice things up.

DirectID
API development and integration with open banking services
DirectID is a banking data aggregator created by The ID Co., an Edinburgh-based leader in open banking and a long-term client of Code & Pepper. Apart from reducing the risk of fraud, DirectID is a powerful decision-making tool in the hands of financial institutions and lenders.
Code & Pepper assisted The ID Co. in achieving full compliance with PSD2.
Custom API development and integration with Salt Edge and its global data aggregation API was challenging due to many dependencies we had to keep in check. To make sure the final result meets our client’s high standards, our developers paid extra attention to compatibility, security, and quality assurance.
