What Challenges Do We Face When Integrating & Standardizing APIs? feat. Chris Turner from Segovia Technology

This week on API Intersection podcast, we dive into the challenges of integrating with legacy systems, integrating a variety of third-party systems, building diverse APIs, and how to manage different levels of sophistication between African banks and mobile network providers. We interviewed Chris Turner, Senior Software Engineer and Agile Practitioner at Segovia Technology, a Crown Agents Bank. Crown Agents Bank uses computer systems and APIs to move money between countries, particularly in Africa.

With his current role, Chris emphasizes that he could very well be working with one organization or agency with a modernized, high-technology stack that needs to integrate with an organization whose main form of technology is an array of spreadsheets.

There is a level of complexity and nuances involved in working with APIs across different domains and industries, particularly in the context of Crown Agents Bank's mission to facilitate cross-border money transfers. With such a stark variety of diverse integration partners and the complexity of their APIs, building a standardized API program is all the more critical.
