Ep 5 - Connecting to the global banking software framework

In episode 5, we chat about the existing UK and global banking framework and how we connect the back-end code to it. Services such as direct debits, the Current Account Switching Service, and Faster Payments will be familiar to UK banking customers, but how do you approach integrating to their APIs? And what are their APIs like anyway (if they even have them)? We also look at connecting to some of the newer consumer financial services, such as Apple Pay with Starling CIO John Mountain and Program Manager Mariam Ogunbambi, hosted by Jason Maude.
