Konsentus Powering Trust in Open Ecosystems

Directory Services

The Foundation of Trust in Open Data Ecosystems

In the interconnected world of open data ecosystems, trust is non-negotiable. The rapid exchange of sensitive data between participants through open APIs demands a reliable system to verify identities, validate regulatory permissions, and safeguard interactions.

Why Trust Matters in Open Finance

As open ecosystems grow to embrace new participants, establishing trust at the point of interaction becomes essential. Trust is built on three core principles:

Surety

Knowing exactly who you are interacting with

Authorisation

Verifying participants have the correct permissions and are permitted to operate

Confidence

Ensuring the data exchanged is accurate, secure, and unaltered

Without these elements, the promise of innovation in open ecosystems risks being undermined by inefficiency and mistrust. That’s where Directory Services play a crucial role.

The Criticality of Directory Services in Open Banking

Directory Services act as the backbone of open ecosystems, enabling all participants to verify, authenticate, and interact confidently.

Without a trusted directory, the ecosystem risks delays, fraud, and inefficiencies that could erode confidence in open banking systems.

Konsentus Directory Services, a core element of the Konsentus Open Trust Platform, provide a trusted, centralised repository of real-time information about third party fintechs and financial institutions. Our services integrate seamlessly with your systems to enhance operational efficiency, mitigate risk and enable secure API connectivity with real-time updates.

A robust directory is essential to:

Verify the identity and permissions of participants

Confirm that third parties (i.e. fintechs) and financial institutions are legitimate and authorised

Ensure compliance

Maintain adherence to regional and global regulations, reducing risk exposure

Facilitate secure transactions

Enable real-time verification for frictionless and secure API calls
