OTTA INSIGHTS
Otta's take on TrueLayer
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Fintech innovation has been pushed further by the introduction of Open Banking standards. Financial institutions are now required to host APIs that allow sharing of your financial data, and you are in control of which third parties have access. It has never been easier for finance products to interact with each other. For example, you may be able to view your Halifax credit card transactions from your Monzo account.
The technologies and partnerships to build this financial layer are complex. TrueLayer saw this problem early, and started years before the standards were enforced.
TrueLayer has made the most out of the London fintech scheme with key partnerships (e.g. Monzo, Revolut) and is now expanding fast in Europe. Their role as the ‘connecting layer’ is incredibly defensible. As TrueLayer's partnerships continue to increase, the value of its platform becomes harder to replicate. Particularly as its offering now has a global reach.
