At Platformable, we have released our first Open Sustainability Trends report. The report, “Using Open Banking and Open Finance APIs to Build Green Fintech”, describes how Europe and the UK use open banking and open finance APIs to enable the growth of new sustainability-focused financial digital products and services. It focuses on key drivers including the current regulatory environment, opportunities for partnership action, the level of consumer demand and the availability of specific API products from open banking platforms.

In this edition, we looked at fintech using bank and finance API platforms to build products and services that could create sustainability benefits. Already, 93 businesses are making use of APIs to create impact-driven products and services that help address major environmental issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss. We profile 8 examples from banks and green fintech in the report.
