The story

Founded in 2017 by the team that authored the UK Open Banking Standard, Ozone API began as a pure compliance platform helping banks meet regulatory requirements for open APIs. It evolved from a UK-focused compliance tool into a globally scalable open finance infrastructure platform covering the UK, Europe, LATAM, and the Middle East. The company has progressively moved beyond compliance into commercial open banking, adding products like Verification of Payee (VOP) and Market Hub for regulators. Its strategy centres on being the infrastructure layer that banks and regulators rely on to expose and monetise open APIs.
