Openapi invests in Rox Pay: payments and Open Banking are coming to the API marketplace

Openapi continues to grow and expand its ecosystem of API services. Through the acquisition of a strategic minority stake in Rox Pay, an Italian fintech company specializing in digital payments and Open Banking, the marketplace takes another step toward building an increasingly comprehensive platform for developers, software vendors and businesses.

The goal is simple: to enable those building digital applications and services to access an ever-growing range of functionalities through a single ecosystem, reducing integration time and operational complexity.

From verification services to payments: a more complete ecosystem

Over the years, Openapi has become a leading platform for accessing official data, identity verification services, trust services, certified communications and e-invoicing solutions.

Many companies already use Openapi APIs to automate processes such as identity verification, company information retrieval, electronic signatures and digital communications management.

With the addition of Rox Pay, the marketplace expands into a new strategic area: payments. This is a natural evolution that makes it possible to integrate not only data and verification services, but also payment collection and transaction management within the same workflow.

What Rox Pay brings to the Openapi ecosystem

Founded in 2021, Rox Pay has developed an all-in-one payment platform that supports more than 40 payment methods and collaborates with major industry players such as Nexi, Adyen, Fabrick and Visa CyberSource.

The solutions available include:

• online payments;
• smart POS solutions;
• payment links;
• recurring payments;
• Open Banking services;
• integration through APIs and dedicated SDKs.

The infrastructure is PCI DSS Level 1 certified and PSD2 compliant, ensuring high standards of security and reliability.

Benefits for developers and businesses

The integration of Rox Pay technologies into the Openapi marketplace will allow developers and companies to access new services through familiar tools and processes, including centralized documentation, streamlined authentication and integration workflows designed to accelerate development.

Software vendors, SaaS platforms, marketplaces and digital applications will be able to combine data, verification services, electronic signatures and payments within the same API ecosystem.

This means fewer vendors to manage, reduced technical complexity and faster time-to-market for new features and services.

What's next

Over the coming months, Openapi and Rox Pay will work on integrating payment and Open Banking APIs into the marketplace.

The objective is to provide developers and businesses with simple and immediate access to new fintech tools while maintaining the quality, security and ease of use that have always distinguished Openapi services.

The addition of Rox Pay therefore represents not only a strategic investment, but also an important evolution of the marketplace, which continues to expand its offering with services designed to support the digital transformation of businesses and professionals.
