Our standards

Our open banking standards are developed to international best practice. The standards enable Third Parties (such as tech companies) to connect with API Providers (banks) in a consistent way, for efficient integration with multiple banks.  

Our standards are continuously developed with input from representatives of the open banking ecosystem and are designed to be used within an agreed framework set by the API Centre.  

There are three API Standards available and Operational Standards for Customer, Reporting, Compliance, Performance, API Centre Register, Data Security and the Security Profile.
