7. Reality
● Legacy core banking systems and challenges in exposing data via APIs
● Existing IAM solution incapable of SCA and Consent Management
● APIM or IAM focus without seeing the broader benefits
● Lack of consensus between specifications making API integration
impossible
Quick fix compliance solutions’ inability to cater to DT needs
8. Need of the hour
● Technology preconfigured for full compliance as well as business expansion
● Standards-based API-M/Integration interoperable with COTS or bespoke tech
● Minimum impact/changes to existing internal systems and B2B integrations
● Ability to implement through Bank’s / TPP’s preferred local partners
● Structured training programs for IT staff
