Launch of new growth programme helps lift SMB open banking innovation

August 03, 2021 | Rune Kallehauge

Thinking about adding open banking services to your solution? Using data to build a loyalty or PFM app? Employing payments to top up your solution or accepting payments for services in your app?

Then you've come to the right place. 

At Aiia we've built a European open banking infrastructure with a strong strategic focus on quality of rails, simplicity and compliance with local laws and regulation. We've spent years operating in the Nordics to build the platform together with large-scale banks. The result has been the establishment of a model for building quality into an open banking market where the PSD2 interfaces of banks might not always deliver on that agenda.

Aiia currently offers access to 3,000+ banks across most European countries. Through one simple API, you can enable your customers to fetch data or perform payments easily and securely directly from their bank accounts. The goal is to reach high quality in all European markets fast and, just as Aiia did in the Nordics, done in close collaboration with customers. 

We're therefore inviting small- and medium-sized businesses with any use case to access open banking that simply works through our Aiia for SMBs growth programme. 

The programme will give up to 50 SMBs access to our open banking platform six months for free. On top of that, we're adding enterprise-level SLA and instant support throughout the programme to ensure that your open banking journey will succeed. 

Here are just a few of the benefits the programme can offer your business:
