About OpenFinance-OS

Independent by design — the neutral record of UAE Open Finance.

We are not official and not affiliated, deliberately. An operator can't be the neutral scorekeeper of its own program; an independent community can. That's why this site exists alongside the operator's — a community of developers, fintechs, bankers, and enthusiasts who believe open ecosystems thrive on transparency.

What We Provide

OpenFinance-OS offers resources and tools to help you navigate the UAE Open Finance landscape.

Visibility

Track ecosystem activity through the Observatory dashboard with real-time participant data.

Curated News

Community-curated news and updates from across the Open Finance ecosystem.

Resources

Guides and documentation for developers, fintechs, and banks building on Open Finance.

Community

A gathering point for collaboration, discussion, and shared learning.

Global Context

International benchmarking to track UAE progress against global Open Banking initiatives.

We are not official. We are not affiliated. We are contributors.

OpenFinance-OS is an independent community initiative. We link to official sources—we don't replace them.

What We're Not

Not an official regulator or scheme operator site
Not affiliated with any single bank or TPP
Not a commercial platform or vendor showcase
Not a replacement for Al Tareq or CBUAE channels

Concretely, so the two sites never converge, this site does not carry API specifications, integration guides, certification or testing docs, service-desk functions, or pricing and SLA content. That's the operator's job — we link there. (Independent analysis of public operational data, like the weekly Watch, is in scope; duplicating the operator's own presentation is not.)

Which site do you need?

Building or integrating?

API specifications, TPP standards, LFI integration guides, certification and the service desk are maintained by the Al Tareq operator's team.
