What Hacker News says
4 sourceshttps://github.com/OpenBankProject/OBP-API seems to be related to them.
The snazzy writeup suggests loads of people are involved but the project has a pretty low number of contributors. Is this the whole organisation or a subset of people doing some work relating to the concept.
The idea of a common API is really fantastic mind you.

In First Open Banking API Sandbox in the UKHi Folks, Open Bank Project is an open source API for banks that is designed to sit on any core banking:
https://github.com/OpenBankProject/OBP-API/wiki/Sandbox
We're currently introducing a Kafka layer which core banking connectors can interface with in any language. Else you can use Scala / Java code to connect to banking (or blockchain?) interfaces directly.
The core is AGPL plus commercial licenses for banks that don't want to abide by AGPL or get commercial support. SDKs etc are Apache licensed.
Regulation from EU (PSD2) and UK government Open Banking Working Group (OBWG) initiative is starting to move the API needle :-)
cheers, Simon (founder of OBP)
In My bank has an API so I built online banking
