The Evolution of Payment APIs: revolutionising financial technologies

APIs: bridging disparate systems for seamless integration

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) play a crucial role in streamlining financial transactions by acting as a bridge between disparate systems. They define rules and protocols governing the interaction between software components, facilitating an efficient and standardised exchange of data. APIs are instrumental in facilitating communication between the merchant’s site, the customer’s banking system, and the payment system.
