Top Fintech APIs

FinTech APIs

for FinTech Developers It's not so long ago since we saw people lining up hat-in-hand in the banks to apply for loans and mortgages or open bank accounts. However, due to the technological advancements in the last decade, this is no longer the case. Today, Fintech has made it possible for you to open a bank account, invest, and borrow money via the internet or smartphone without physically going to a traditional bank. Fintech, which emerged in the 21st century, was initially applied to technologies linked to the back-end systems of financial systems. However, its employment has been shifted to more consumer-oriented services.

What is FinTech?

Fintech is a combination of two words; "finance" and "technology." Fintech is used to describe any company that offers financial services through technology or software. It encompasses any enterprise that uses mobile devices, internet, cloud services, and software technology to perform or provide a connection with financial services. Fintech has made inroads with a variety of apps such as mobile payments, as well as investment and insurance companies.

Fintech is revolutionizing the industry by utilizing technology (such as APIs) to help businesses to lower costs, manage and facilitate finances, as well as assisting institutions in delivering exceptional banking services.
