Open-source software is software with source code that is readily accessible that anyone can modify and freely share because its source code is publicly available under an open-source license. Source code refers to the part of software most software and computer users do not see, and is the code programmers can manipulate to change how a piece of software works or add or remove features.

Open-source software development is often done through the open collaboration of many software programmers in a public manner, through online platforms such as Github or SourceForge. These open-source software hubs are an example of open collaboration that can broaden design perspectives. Open-source practices can also lead to considerable savings, with many open-source offerings provided to consumers for free, and relying instead on diverse business models, including donations and shareware.

Computer software, or simply software, is a collection of data or computer instructions that tell the computer how to work. This is in contrast to physical hardware, from which the system is built and actually performs the work. In computer science and software engineering, computer software is all information processed by computer systems, programs and data. Computer software includes computer programs, libraries and related non-executable data, such as online documentation or digital media. Computer hardware and software require each other and neither can be realistically used on its own. At the lowest programming level, executable code consists of machine language instructions supported by an individual processor--typically a central processing unit (CPU) or a graphics processing unit (GPU). A machine language consists of groups of binary values signifying processor instructions that change the state of the computer from its preceding state. For example, an instruction may change the value stored in a particular storage location in the computer--an effect that is not directly observable to the user. An instruction may also invoke one of many input or output operations, for example displaying some text on a computer screen; causing state changes which should be visible to the user. The processor executes the instructions in the order they are provided, unless it is instructed to "jump" to a different instruction, or is interrupted by the operating system. As of 2015, most personal computers, smartphone devices and servers have processors with multiple execution units or multiple processors performing computation together, and computing has become a much more concurrent activity than in the past. The majority of software is written in high-level programming languages. They are easier and more efficient for programmers because they are closer to natural languages than machine languages. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or an interpreter or a combination of the two. Software may also be written in a low-level assembly language, which has strong correspondence to the computer's machine language instructions and is translated into machine language using an assembler.

Application programming interface (API) is a set of codes, protocols, and tools for querying data, parsing responses, and sending instructions between one software platform and another. It allows communication between software programs. APIs have often been described as any sort of generic connectivity interface to an application; however, APIs have taken on some characteristics that make them useful and valuable:

• APIs adhere to standards (typically HTTP and REST) that are developer-friendly, easily accessible, and broadly understood

Railsbank positions its open API as a utility on which financial companies can build and sell various financial services, features or products. They offer a complete financial services backend which includes platform, connectivity, operations, scheme memberships, regulation and compliance.
