The Observer Analytics API enables financial institutions to enrich payments data with value added information to optimise their cross-border payments strategy and discover new opportunities.

The cross-border payments landscape is highly competitive and lacking in transparency. With Observer Analytics and its APIs, financial institutions have the ability access and integrate enriched payments information about a specific transaction, identified by its UETR, or transactions initiated on a specific date. The data accessible through the API is enriched with computation on speed, fees, end-to-end routing, gpi KPIs and a benchmarking capability.
