Ozone API

It provides the API layer, not the core connectivity, so the bulk of the project is still integrating your own core banking systems and that cost is not in the licence.
Value is driven by regulatory obligation, so an institution not under a mandate struggles to build a business case for the spend.
It is a small UK vendor selling to large regulated institutions, which raises procurement and vendor viability questions during bank due diligence.
Premium API monetisation is a genuine capability but few banks have found real demand, so revenue projections used to justify the purchase often do not materialise.
Standards evolve continuously and each revision means a change programme in your own systems, even where Ozone absorbs the specification work at the API edge.
