Ozone API are the market leaders in standards. We help banks expose APIs in line with common Open Banking standards. We currently support the UK Open Banking standard (and we provide the official reference implementation / sandbox for the OBIE), the FDX standard, the Berlin Group standard, and are accredited to the FAPI and CIBA standards from the Open ID Foundation. We will support any common open standard that emerges and help our customers support the latest version of standards as soon as they are available.
