Up2Connect
Secure two-way digital communication with your partners via APIs
Description
One communication hub for secure connections
Up2Connect provides a solution for digital data communication under the Second Payment Directive technical regulations. It enables secure connections between Account Servicing Payment Service Providers (ASPSPs) and the Third Party Providers (TPPs) offered via the Application Programming Interfaces.
Among the critical changes that PSD2 brings is the requirement for banks to provide information about their customers’ bank accounts and allow TPPs to initiate payments via the APIs. Account information and Payment initiation are integral parts of the service.
