We’ve added five new countries to our open banking platform and increased our coverage in places like the Netherlands and Spain to 99%. Our platform now covers more than 95% of the banked population in major European markets.

Ensuring high quality connections
We know our global clients want to be able to reach their customers in different markets, which is why we continue to expand our coverage. But, we also know they want to provide a good experience to those customers.
Open banking connections should be secure, reliable and user friendly. They should stand up to the scrutiny of high volumes and different use cases.
It’s why we focus on connecting to banks through PSD2-compliant APIs. Our coverage in the UK and Europe is 100% API-based, meaning we don’t use screenscraping.
It’s also why we only make connections available when they are fit for purpose – once they have been debugged and rigorously tested to root out errors and edge cases, which can otherwise cause errors and failures that frustrate customers.
And we regularly share our findings from API testing with the banks, to help them fix issues and improve their API quality, while minimising the impact for our clients.
It’s one of the reasons that open banking payments through TrueLayer convert on average 22% higher than they do through other open banking providers in the UK (source: CMA9 banks in the UK).
We are taking that model as we expand across Europe, to ensure consumers and businesses can harness the full potential and benefits of open banking.
