The partnership also seeks to establish collaborative API governance across Tonik’s teams and streamline partnerships with existing and new service providers.

Tonik CTO Arivuvel Ramu said: “Tonik’s vision of launching a purely digital bank to transform banking in Southeast Asia started in 2018. Central to this vision is the use of an open banking, multi-cloud, MI/AI-driven experience.

“Our collaboration with Apiwiz is instrumental in the enhancement of our open API platform with the addition of API lifecycle management, developer portal, and consent management on top of our existing Google Apigee platform. These enhancements will accelerate connections across our partner’s ecosystem in Southeast Asia and monetization via API as a new business revenue channel by Q1 2022.”
