Financial institutions worldwide face the same challenge: fragmented and inconsistent financial data. While open banking has helped bridge some gaps, many providers stop at basic connectivity. What businesses truly need is not just access to data but actionable, standardised, and global insights they can trust.
That’s where Zeeh Connect makes a difference. Unlike many financial data APIs that focus on one market or deliver raw, unstructured data, Zeeh Connect provides secure, high-quality, globally consistent financial information that institutions can use immediately.
Beyond Access: Why Differentiation Matters
The open finance space is expanding rapidly 81% of banks consider APIs a core priority for both business and IT functions, and many large banks now allocate ~14% of their IT budgets to API programs. Yet, most companies still invest heavily in cleaning, structuring, and reconciling data before it's usable.
Zeeh Connect changes this by delivering ready-to-use intelligence, no more manual data wrangling. This translates into:
- Faster go-to-market timelines
- Over 10% reduction in operational costs
- Potential revenue increases exceeding 10%, thanks to streamlined API-driven models.
What Makes Zeeh Connect Different
Global Coverage, Including Underserved Regions. While traditional providers focus on North America and Europe, Zeeh Connect is designed for comprehensive reach, including Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Open finance adoption is now underway or active in approximately 68 countries, accounting for around 35% of the world’s nations. This breadth empowers institutions to engage markets often overlooked by traditional systems.
Structured, Standardised Data Across Borders Zeeh Connect resolves the headaches of inconsistent formats and reporting standards by delivering unified data that can be plugged directly into credit scoring models, risk engines, or dashboards.
Real-Time + Historical Depth While some providers focus only on real-time feeds or historical statements, Zeeh Connect offers both, supporting instant decision-making and long-term risk modelling with a comprehensive data view.
Enterprise-Grade Compliance Everywhere Global expansion also means compliance with complex regulations like PSD2 in Europe and evolving open finance laws across emerging markets. Zeeh Connect is built to navigate this legal landscape and instil confidence wherever clients grow.
