All listed APIs are vetted for usability and simplicity and all support and sales staff from all member firms are trained on their functionality.
Fintech is currently experiencing significant growth. Investment globally has tripled, growing to over USD 12 billion in 2014, according to a study by Accenture. A new de-facto ecosystem, made of interlocking APIs and services that are used to power a new generation of financial applications, is developing. The common benefits of APIs are simplification, automation, creation of a rich user experience, and a dramatically lower cost structure for the industry. The #FintechRevolution Ecosystem is a formalization of that ecosystem that allows users to take advantage of the best fintech APIs available while helping member firms collaborate and grow.
