How do open banking and Banking as a Service (BaaS) differ?
With Banking as a Service, banking products (such as current accounts or credit cards) from third-party providers can be made available over secure interfaces (APIs). Open banking is primarily aimed at financial institutions. It gives customers greater control over their financial information and allows them to access a wider range of financial services.
