As a trusted provider to major banks, PSPs and corporates, SurePay delivers its services entirely via APIs, enabling real-time verification of payee identity before payments are processed. In 2023 alone SurePay’s API platform handled around 8 billion API calls, making API performance, scalability, and availability essential to the integrity and reliability of Europe’s financial ecosystem.

A long-term commitment to Apigee

SurePay has a long-standing history of building on Apigee, having launched its API platform on Apigee Edge. As the company grew and the volume and complexity of API traffic increased, SurePay recognized the opportunity to take advantage of Apigee X, GCP’s next-generation, API management platform.

This transition to Apigee X represents a proactive, strategic move to continue innovating with the latest capabilities of the world’s leading APIM platform. SurePay’s migration to Apigee X reflects their continued confidence in Apigee and its evolving API management vision.

Futureproofing with Apigee X

Apigee X provides deeper integration with Google Cloud, enhanced observability, and AI-powered security—all vital for a company operating at the heart of Europe’s financial infrastructure. It also offers advanced analytics, per-tenant insights, and automation capabilities that enable SurePay to maintain high service levels and meet compliance requirements such as CoP mandates, PSD2, and ISO 27001.
