❓ What are the key security concerns when integrating your partner’s API? APIs are a great way to add new features and product offerings for your customers, but integrating with any partner can expose you to risks if not done properly. 🔐 Here are 3 top things to bear in mind: 🔹 Authentication protocols – does the API use robust methods like OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect? 🔹 Error handling – is this sufficient to prevent information leakage? Could error messages expose vulnerabilities? 🔹 Access control – does the API provide fine-grained access control so you can be precise about who can do what with your system? 👀 Check out our full blog post linked in the comments, or get in touch with contact@mmob.com to find out how our Engineering team ensure secure API integration. #softwaredevelopment #cybersecurity #API #APIintegration #engineering

The mmob team had a busy week attending lots of #fintech and #technology events around London! 🔹 Exploring the impact of AI on financial services at CogX Festival. 🔹 Future of Financial Services summit featuring a great fireside chat on the future of #embeddedfinance by Shaul David and Sophie GUIBAUD. 🔹 Google Cloud Summit catching up with our friends at Google and Zencore. 🔹 Fintech Club with Grow London at Level39 discussing how fintech can put #wealthmanagement in the hands of retail investors, and what must be done to achieve this responsibly. 🔹 Innovate Finance's Fintech as a Force for Good discussing the contribution of #openbanking to people's financial wellbeing and what the next use cases are to generate revenue.

How can fintechs boost adoption of their product to drive revenue?   It’s no secret many fintechs are struggling with growth and adoption of their products and services. Our CEO Irfan Khan recently discussed with SkyParlour the reasons behind this, and shared some thoughts on what scaling businesses can do: 📄 Don’t just rely on your API docs to get the message across. Many fintechs have a “build it and they will come” mentality and think once their documentation is on their website, people will be able to interpret it. In most cases, you need to illustrate the value of your APIs through demos and use case suggestions. 🔑 Easily consumable products are key. Markets like #BaaS are continually being saturated with solutions and fintechs struggle to differentiate from their rivals. If you can make your APIs as consumable as possible, you can win more clients over competitors with similar solutions. 🔗 Be honest about your target partners, and their limitations. Many fintechs are focusing on small groups of sophisticated clients who can take an #API and build around it easily, but even these clients have a decreasing tech budget, and there aren’t always enough of them to build a scalable business. A focus on serving a wider pool of less sophisticated partners could win out.  Check the comments to find out more. #APIintegration #embeddedfinance #fintechadoption #scalingfintech

While the pace of change remains a frustration for large financial institutions, adoption is the key pain point for more agile fintechs. This was the message from mmob's Founder and CEO Irfan Khan on SkyParlour's Get Started Media podcast recorded at Money20/20 back in June. "You’ve got a problem statement on one side where large enterprises and financial institutions are struggling with innovation but have lots of customers, and then on the other side you’ve got this fintech ecosystem that has amazing products and services which don’t have the distribution. What if you could bring these two ecosystems together?” Leading large technology transformation programmes for banks is challenging, but fintech founders soon realise the grass is not always greener... What if there was a way to improve interoperability and achieve the desired outcomes faster? Take a look at our blog and you'll see that there is - https://lnkd.in/gBkmjWfB #embeddedfinance #APIintegration #productintegration #technologytransformation #banking
