Prerequisites

NextGenPSD2 Reference Toolkit is a purpose-built solution for regulatory compliance that supports PSD2. Instead of building an open banking solution from scratch, you can use NextGenPSD2 Reference Toolkit to meet all open banking requirements with additional benefits beyond compliance. This toolkit runs on top of the following WSO2 products:

  • WSO2 Open Banking Accelerator 3.0
  • WSO2 Identity Server 6.1.0
  • WSO2 API Manager 4.2.0

Note

The NextGenPSD2 Reference Toolkit is built by customizing the WSO2 Open Banking Accelerator and helps you comply with the NextGenPSD2 framework. 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.
