CSR Generator for Software Statement-Level Certificates

One of the certificate types supported by the UK Open Banking ecosystem is the so called software statement-level certificate. There are two kinds of software statement-level certificates: OBTRANSPORT and OBSIGNING. Both are issued by the Open Banking Directory Certificate Authority (CA).

In order to obtain a software statement-level certificate the requesting party must be a participant onboarded onto the Open Banking Directory, have an active software statement, and submit a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

While our clients have had access to our bespoke software statement-level CSR generators for a while, we have never made them publicly available. Until now. If you want to make the software statement-level CSR process easier for yourself, visit https://tools.certograph.com and use our tools for free.

The full CertStat.com API will launch within the next few days, but you can get an early taste of its functionality today.
