Learn how to design secure, reliable financial API gateways that connect modern applications with legacy banking and payment systems. This course explores API gateway architecture, financial protocol translation, and integration strategies for banking and fintech.

Designed for developers, integration engineers, and architects, the course examines ISO 8583, FIX, SWIFT, and REST/JSON integration with mainframes, payment switches, SOAP services, and message queues. Explore data transformation, identity mediation, state management, error handling, and resilience. Evaluate API versioning, gRPC, GraphQL, service mesh, and lifecycle management to support financial microservices and legacy compatibility. Discover how OAuth 2.0, mutual TLS, payload protection, automated testing, and observability strengthen API security. Examine event-driven APIs, WebSockets, open banking, zero trust, gateway migration, and DevOps practices. By the end of the course, you'll be able to assess integration requirements, compare protocol translation approaches, evaluate security and reliability controls, and recommend financial API modernization strategies. What makes this course distinctive is its focus on bridging modern API technologies with legacy financial infrastructure, helping you make informed architectural decisions for secure, compatible, and resilient financial integrations.

Analyze gateway responsibilities and ISO 8583, FIX, and SWIFT integration requirements. Evaluate transformation mechanisms, security boundaries, state management, and resilience patterns for connecting modern APIs to legacy financial systems.
