to adopt API solutions, according to Samuel van Niekerk, head of operations at Standard Bank Group. <br /> <br /> Speaking about the bank’s adoption of APIs under the Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN) framework, van Niekerk said that it can take time for people to get on board with the adoption and implement an external marketplace for their APIs. <br /> <br /> “One of the complexities you will face if you are only just starting out on the journey is this notion of people being comfortable in the traditional way of doing things and being very protective of how to get our products out there,” van Niekerk said at the BIAN banking summit on Wednesday. “You need to get them to step over the line and realise that you need to get into this world of being API-led and you need to get yourself ready for embedded finance and Open Banking and be ready to put yourself out there.” <br /> <br /> He added that it took “some time” to get the bank’s developers behind BIAN, but once they realised the benefits such as the organisation and scalability, they enjoyed the journey and found it expanded their skill set. <br /> <br /> BIAN, which was established in 2008, is a collaborative not-for-profit global network made up of banks, tech providers, consultants, and academics. The organisation aims to establish and promote a common framework for banking interoperability issues. <br /> <br /> The board of Standard Bank has come round to the idea of the API marketplace and is increasingly interested in the development of APIs, van Niekerk said. <br /> <br /> The head of operations revealed that in the past two meetings, board members have been asking for progress made in embedded finance and how the bank is connected to other services beyond banking in order to remain relevant.<br /> <br /> Van Niekerk said that 99 per cent of large and medium-sized businesses use APIs and around 30 per cent of financial institutions offering APIs generate around a quarter of their revenue from them. <br /> <br /> “It is a multi-year task and takes investment to get over the line to be core API-led,” van Niekerk said. “APIs are evolving and people are beginning to realise that being bespoke is crucial.”</p> <br> <hr> <div class="sharewrap"> <div class="sharestorytext">Share Story:</div> <div class="jsiconwrap"> <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/intent/tweet?text=Standard Bank head of operations urges banks to become 'API-led'&url=https://fstech.co.uk/fst/Standard_Bank_Head_Of_Operations_Urges_Banks_To_Become_API_Led.php"> <i class="fa-brands fa-square-x-twitter" style="color:black;"></i> </a> </div> <div class="jsiconwrap"> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?url=https://fstech.co.uk/fst/Standard_Bank_Head_Of_Operations_Urges_Banks_To_Become_API_Led.php"> <i class="fa-brands fa-linkedin" style="color:#3371b7;"></i> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article>  <div class="comment-title title-style01"> <h3>Recent Stories</h3> </div>  <div class="article"> <div class="entry-block-small recentstoriesblock"> <div class="entry-image"><a class="img-link" href="/fst/TSB_Citi_And_Wells_Fargo_Reveal_Details_About_BIAN_Progress.php?utm_source=jsrecent"><img class="img-responsive img-full" src="/fst/images/mobile-banking-online-payment-marketing-m.jpg"></a></div> <div class="content"> <h3><a class="recentstorieshref" href="/fst/TSB_Citi_And_Wells_Fargo_Reveal_Details_About_BIAN_Progress.php?utm_source=jsrecent">TSB, Citi and Wells Fargo reveal details about BIAN progress</a></h3> <div> <a href="/fst/TSB_Citi_And_Wells_Fargo_Reveal_Details_About_BIAN_Progress.php?utm_source=jsrecent"><span class="read-more">READ STORY</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="entry-block-small recentstoriesblock"> <div class="entry-image"><a class="img-link" href="/fst/Standard_Bank_Head_Of_Operations_Urges_Banks_To_Become_API_Led.php?utm_source=jsrecent"><img class="img-responsive img-full" src="/fst/images/Standardbanksmall.jpg"></a></div> <div class="content"> <h3><a class="recentstorieshref" href="/fst/Standard_Bank_Head_Of_Operations_Urges_Banks_To_Become_API_Led.php?utm_source=jsrecent">Standard Bank head of operations urges banks to become 'API-led'</a></h3> <div> <a href="/fst/Standard_Bank_Head_Of_Operations_Urges_Banks_To_Become_API_Led.php?utm_source=jsrecent"><span class="read-more">READ STORY</span></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="entry-block-small recentstoriesblock"> <div class="entry-image"><a class="img-link" href="/fst/Googlepay_integrates_klarna_and_afterpay_to_expand_bnpl_services.php?utm_source=jsrecent"><img class="img-responsive img-full" src="/fst/images/Google Pay.png"></a></div> <div class="content"> <h3><a class="recentstorieshref" href="/fst/Googlepay_integrates_klarna_and_afterpay_to_expand_bnpl_services.php?utm_source=jsrecent">GooglePay integrates Klarna and Afterpay to expand BNPL services</a></h3> <div> <a href="/fst/Googlepay_integrates_klarna_and_afterpay_to_expand_bnpl_services.php?utm_source=jsrecent"><span class="read-more">READ STORY</span></a> </div> </div> </div> </div>   <div class="row no-gutter"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div id="adbannerwrapjs"><a href="https://www.fstech.co.uk/fst/link.php?url= https://www.payments-awards.com/awards/winners24.php" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.fstech.co.uk/../../fst/images/728X90-PaymentsAwards2024-Winners-animated.gif" border="0""></a></div> </div> </div> <br>  </div>   <div class="col-md-3"> <div class="jswrap4"><div class="jstitle4">The human firewall: Activating employees to safeguard financial data</div><div class="jswrap5"><video class="jsvideo4" poster="/fst/images/metomic-the-human-firewall-videocover.png" controls="" width="100%"><source src="https://www.fstech.co.uk/fst/the-human-firewall-ondemand-fireside-chat/video.mp4" type="video/mp4"><source src="/jwplayer/" type="video/ogg"> Your browser does not support HTML5 video.</video></div><div class="jswrap6"><div class="jstext4">As financial services increasingly embrace SaaS and cloud-based technologies, they face emerging threats to safeguard sensitive customer data.
