Emirates NBD Introduces API Developer Portal

Emirates NBD, a leading banking group in the MENAT (Middle East, North Africa and Turkey) region, has launched the region's comprehensive and ready-to-use financial Application Programming Interface (API) developer portal 'Emirates NBD API Souq', providing FinTechs, developers and corporate clients with an all-in-one ecosystem to rapidly develop innovative financial solutions.

The portal grants developers access to a wide range of ready-to-use suite of Emirates NBD APIs across the six key categories of account services, payments, collections, real-time notifications, trade services and information services, with a plan to multiply the APIs offered on the portal in the coming months. The seamless integration with the bank and ease of use of the portal allows developers to rapidly identify, test and integrate APIs into their products and services in a highly secure environment.

The introduction of Emirates NBD's developer portal further strengthens the Bank's existing API Banking proposition, which was launched last year to advise clients on how APIs can support their business needs. The portal enhances the existing service by allowing Emirates NBD, its clients and developers to directly create protocols that will improve operational efficiencies, facilitate real-time updates and enhance data driven decision-making. The portal also boasts of categorized Emirates NBD API resources, comprehensive API technical documentation and 'Sandbox' capabilities for secure integration.
Commenting on the announcement, Abdulla Qassem, Group Chief Operating Officer, Emirates NBD, said: "As a digital pioneer that has led innovation in the region's banking sector, at Emirates NBD Group, we continuously seek opportunities to bring groundbreaking technology advancements to the financial services industry and serve our customers, people and communities in innovative ways. Today, APIs are at the core of our Open Architecture and play a significant role in our digital strategy and leveraging our API-based architecture and experience, we are now collaborating closely with our customers to help them embrace this technology to optimize their business processes."
