Case Study: Bank Albilad achieves rapid open banking compliance with IBM API Connect

Using IBM API Connect to ensure compliance with precision and speed

Bank Albilad, a leading Saudi Islamic bank, faced a tight deadline to align its open banking platform with Saudi Central Bank standards and meet new regulatory requirements for API availability and security. To move quickly while reducing risk, the bank turned to IBM and IBM Cloud Pak for Integration, specifically IBM API Connect.

IBM helped Bank Albilad create, manage, secure, and socialize its APIs with built-in policies, low-code capabilities, and support from local IBM teams and partners. As a result, Bank Albilad achieved the required FAPI certification at the lowest possible cost, met the deadline ahead of schedule, improved time to market and agility, and strengthened its brand and fintech partnership prospects.
