Prerequisites

WSO2 Open Banking UK Toolkit is a purpose-built solution for regulatory compliance that supports PSD2. Instead of building an open banking solution from scratch, you can use WSO2 Open Banking UK Toolkit to meet all open banking requirements with additional benefits beyond compliance. This toolkit runs on top of the following WSO2 products:

You can use any of the following combinations and WSO2 Open Banking Accelerator 3.0:

WSO2 Identity Server WSO2 API Manager WSO2 Streaming Integrator
Combination 01 5.11.0 4.1.0 or 4.0.0 4.0.0
Combination 02
 6.0.0 4.2.0 4.2.0

Note

The WSO2 Open Banking UK Toolkit is built by customizing the WSO2 Open Banking Accelerator and helps you comply with the Open Banking Standard. For more information on the accelerator, see the WSO2 Open Banking Accelerator Documentation.

The toolkit mainly addresses the open banking requirements such as API consumer application onboarding, consent management, and access authorization among numerous other features to set up an open banking solution.

Tip

In a standalone setup, these products are deployed in a single server. However, in a typical production environment, it is recommended to deploy the components in separate servers (distributed) for better performance.
