Konsentus was founded in early 2018 to protect financial institutions from the risk of unauthorised third parties (TPPs) gaining customer account access.
PSD2 Open Banking came into force in Europe in 2019. It mandated financial institutions with online transacting accounts to open them up to regulated third parties as long as prior consent had been given by the account holder. This gave rise to regulated fintechs offering innovative products and services in the market and increased competition.
Our team of highly experienced Payments and Financial Services professionals realised that identifying and validating these new entities at the time of a transaction request would be difficult. It would require consolidating many different data sources and an understanding of the data held within them – complex and costly for individual financial institutions.
That’s why we dedicated all our energy to building a world-class SaaS-based technology solution that could remove this complexity.
We launched Konsentus Verify in 2019 and since then, we’ve been protecting the open banking transactions of our customers throughout Europe so they can concentrate on doing what they do best!
Since the early days of PSD2, open banking has become an operational reality. Innovative use cases are driving consumer adoption and it’s not just a European movement. Open banking and open finance are taking off across the globe.
What was once just about PSD2 compliance has now evolved into questions about how to protect end user data and funds in a much larger ecosystem and enable those participating to transact with confidence.
We’re lucky that our technology has been built for purpose and our customers can easily transition into open finance, open data and beyond.
What hasn’t changed is that trust and security remain key – that’s why they’re engrained in our DNA.
We’re proud of our team of experts and are taking that expertise into international markets to deliver central platforms to jurisdictions that value the delivery of an end-to-end secure and trusted ecosystem.
Our team is made up of highly experienced professionals who understand financial services, payments and RegTech. We hold ourselves to high standards and challenge ourselves every day. Our strong values guide how we treat each other, and our customers and, how we conduct our business.
