Apache Kafka meetup: Big Industries talk Banking use case
You are cordially invited to the Belgium Apache Kafka Meetup event, where Big Industries will present a compelling use case from a leading banking customer.
PSD2 Event Processing with Apache Kafka and Flink
Abstract:
BIG Industries assisted a retail bank in enhancing its mobile banking app to comply with PSD2 and improve user-friendliness. The new feature enables customers to set custom payment thresholds for transactions, increasing security and control. It applies to all payment methods, including credit/debit cards, online transactions, and envelope payments. Users can also opt-in for push notifications for added transparency. By using Kafka for event streaming and Flink for real-time data processing, the bank ensured that customer-defined payment limits were enforced instantly and notifications were sent without delays, improving both security and customer experience.
