TPP Onboarding

Third-Party Providers (TPPs) can create third-party applications to facilitate banking services exposed via banking APIs. A TPP can play the role of a PISP/AISP/CBPII or a combination of those roles.

The TPPs are subject to thorough verification before connecting them with the banks/ASPSPs. This verification includes a comprehensive sign-up process at the API Store; the developer portal of WSO2 Open Banking. For a TPP to start providing open banking services, it has to be registered under a Competent Authority, which is a regulatory body that authorizes and supervises the open banking services delivered by the TPP.
