The Ozone API founding team met and started this journey whilst working together to lead the design and delivery of the open banking blueprint in the UK. We saw the huge potential, but also the significant technical challenge banks faced and so we built the Ozone API platform - designed to remove the complexity of open finance and help banks and financial institutions adapt to and thrive in this new world.

We’re a fast growing, dynamic technology company that is already global. Our technology leads the market and our expertise is unsurpassed. We’ve built an incredible team, but the fun is just beginning with open finance now happening all around the world.
