India’s fourth-largest private sector banking firm YES BANK finally launched its YES Fintech Developer Hub. The launch of India’s largest API sandbox took place in Ritz Carlton in Bengaluru on 6th November. The API sandbox launched by YES BANK consists of 50+ virtual APIs, which marks the movement started by the bank towards a more open banking system.
This platform currently hosts about 50 APIs, which is the highest in the Indian Banking Sector, and it is expected to host more than 100 APIs by the end of 2020. The main motive of this sandbox development is to help and assist the corporates, MSMEs, and startups in identifying the ‘best-fit’ APIs depending on the sector in which they are operating.
The YES Fintech Developer is working along with the bank’s strategy of introducing the customers to the core developments while creating solutions with them. The access to these API’s will be provided in four categories:
- Account Management
- Payments
- Cards
- Customer Relationship Management
The sandbox will be beneficial for the clients as it would help them to work on customization and assess API integrations.
