Custodian Connect delivers on this premise through a set of APIs that your platform will use to communicate with our platform through:
- REST API services to third party institutions to enable integration and improve communications between third party platform clients and PENSCO.
- PENSCO Trust APIs are restricted by the third party IP addresses. In addition, all API calls require an API Token that is registered specifically to your institution/platform.
