UBS, NDGIT launch direct developer portal for third party service providers

Beginning with a three-month test phase, TPPs can now access the interfaces of more than 3,000 banks across the EU. UBS supports the Berlin Group’s NextGenPSD2 pan-European standardization initiative. It offers Account Information Services (AIS) and Payment Initiation Services (PIS) for all markets and additionally Confirmation on the Availability of Funds (CAF) services in Germany and UK.
