The task of bank was in providing to clients service for armoring of tourist services with a possibility of payment by points of loyalty from the Alfa Travel card. As a result of implementation of the joint project partners found the method allowing to exchange data, to accumulate points and to pay with them the purchased tourist services.

Open API – one of the perspective directions which develops in the countries of Europe within the updated payment directive PSD2. This directive is issued by European Parliament for the purpose of ensuring bigger transparency and openness of the market of payments in the European Union countries, supports of innovations, the competition and security. In Russia the ideas of PSD2 are actively supported by the Central bank. It is the first project with providing access to opened API bank, and it is developed by us in rather short term.
