API integration & Payments

 

Find out how API can connect your business by watching our short video

APIs have been increasing in popularity exponentially in recent years, and they are rightly regarded by industry experts as a significant technology advance with the power to disrupt the financial services and fintech landscapes for the better. Our all-encompassing API platform has been developed with the vision of streamlining the payments process for our clients, leaving you with more time to invest into your business.

What is an API?

API stands for Application Programming Interface. APIs operate as a digital intermediary that facilitates communications between two applications.

The average person uses 10 individual APIs each day through a variety of applications, such as Google Maps and social media apps. These apps wouldn't be able to function without the API, as the API allows your phone to communicate with the app and exchange information which is then displayed on your phone screen.

Given their ground-breaking capabilities for real-time data synchronisation, it seems likely that the API market will be worth $8.2bn by 2027, double its 2021 size, as more businesses implement this technology.

How are APIs used in the finance industry?

APIs have the capacity to completely reshape the future of the financial services industry by enabling partnerships between banks, fintech firms and other financial services providers, such as accountants or consultants. It is hoped that this will usher in a new age of 'open banking' via an ecosystem of interconnected APIs.

The possibilities of APIs are truly limitless, as they can be used to connect different software applications, such as digital wallets, blockchain and data analytics. The API pulls information from these different channels depending on its purpose and displays everything in one holistic, user-friendly interface.

APIs are versatile in nature and can therefore be used to undertake a wide array of tasks. We have specifically engineered our API to streamline bulk payments and global payments for our clients. Find out more about our API below.

What is a RESTful API?

RESTful APIs refer to any API built using REST tech - 'Representational State Transfer' technology - which is generally preferred to its more robust counterpart SOAP tech - 'Simple Object Access Protocol' technology. RESTful APIs leverage less bandwidth, which makes it the preferred option with regard to internet usage.

REST is a software architectural style which provides interoperability between computer systems on the Internet. They use HTTP requests to 'GET', 'PUT', 'POST' and 'DELETE' data. The REST server then processes these commands and sends a response back to you, the client.

Why would my business need API integration?

There are several ways in which your business might benefit from API global payments integrations.

If your business makes and receives lots of payments on a regular basis, it can be very easy to lose track of your international payments, especially if they are denominated in different currencies. APIs fix this problem by allowing you to view all of the ingoing and outgoing payments in the software programs that you feel most comfortable using.

Plug-and-play APIs are another great example of how API’s can be used to simplify complex business processes. By integrating your accounting software and ERP system with our plug-and-play APIs, you can track all of your international payments with the accounting software that you most like to use. Its ability to track payments in multiple currencies and automate scalable payment workflows gives you more time to spend on what matters most – your business.
