Definition
Open Source Finance is the provision of financial services that is substantially based on software components released under an Open Source License.
Open source finance is an evolving domain in that both the provision of financial services based primarily on digital technologies and the adoption of open source software development is a recent practice (see Fintech)
This entry focuses on documenting the structure and business models associated with open source financial activities. The list of software that is used is maintained separately
Service Categories
The broad overview of financial service categories with existing open source finance examples
Payment Services
Banking Services
Software Stack
This is an overview of the overall open source finance software stack. Different service domains will utilize different parts of this stack.
The lower levels of the stack tend to be general purpose and used in many other domains besides finance. The higher levels of the stack tend to be finance specific
Operating Systems
Communication Protocols
Databases
Applications
Client Facing Applications
This category includes all applications that are exposing the financial service to the end users
- Mobile
- Web applications
- Desktop applications
Internal Applications
This category includes all applications that are used internally by the financial services provider to enable the service provision (excluding the database category). It does not include general purpose applications that are also used for financial services
- Middleware
- Ledgers
API's and Standards
Application Programming Interfaces ensure a measure of interoperability between different applications
