OpenLegacy claims that its automated API-generation tools are designed to accelerate the adoption of open banking and digital transformation.

The firm added that APIs facilitate the sharing of information and enable the large-scale shift from monolithic core applications to a microservices-based architecture.

SCB Korea senior vice president technology & innovations Jason Ki said: “As the bank embarks on a digital journey to modernize our platforms, it is critical that we leverage new technologies to ensure we stay relevant in this competitive space.

“We are excited to partner with OpenLegacy to bring next-level digital integration for our banking services in South Korea.”
