Case Study: KGI Bank achieves rapid open-banking launch in 6 months with Axway AMPLIFY API Management

Commercial bank strives to lead in Taiwan’s API economy with an open-banking platform

KGI Bank, a leading commercial bank in Taiwan, sought a first‑mover advantage in a crowded market by moving from manual, paper‑based processes to API‑driven open banking. The bank needed a secure, scalable way to partner with third parties, speed up customer journeys, and win new customers while reducing operational friction and development overhead.

Working with Axway partner Galaxy Software Services, KGI deployed AMPLIFY API Management in six months, gaining robust security, prebuilt APIs and templates, and clearer API operations. The platform cut development time dramatically (from ~3 months to about 1), reduced resource needs to a single FTE for many integrations, enabled partner services like Chunghwa Telecom identity verification, and positioned the bank to deliver faster account openings and loan approvals while scaling open‑banking innovation.
