Open Banking has fundamentally changed the game for all of us in the banking and financial services sector. With shifts involving customer data, naturally there have been concerns as organisations transform, from how they can get a sufficient return, to the need for security, to the need to adhere to the new regulations. However, Open Banking has ...

The future of finance is open. But not because of Open Banking legislation, but because the internet has unshackled information flows. In the future, financial information will flow horizontally across an ecosystem, rather than vertically through an integrated value chain; finance will be embedded into everything from ecommerce to homebuying. Open...

Last week, the CMA released a report on the status of open banking after 2 years in place in the UK. This blog will reflect and challenge the comments from the blog “Open Banking year two: Insights from the CMA9” and what the various banks perceive as progress.

The appearance of open banking created an immediate concern within the banks as they would now have to share customer data, competition from challenger banks, etc. Even though it is a well-known statement these days that “innovation will come with or without the banks” most banks (if not all) are still thinking that innovation will not affect them...

Open Banking – Big Tech’s in Banking? Nothing new. There was a very strong article last week titled “Big Tech’s Invasion of Banking” which illustrates how Silicon Valley is waking up to the benefits of going after the financial sector.

In a December 20th article titled, “Without Open Banking regulation, banks and fintechs clash in the US” (*), we get a taste of the first issues that are arising in the U.S. of trying to work in a somewhat open banking space without regulation. One of the issues mentioned in the article relates to aggregators in the U.S. being blocked by banks tha...

Open Banking – A 2019 Summary Open Banking has been regarded by the financial sector as the most revolutionary movement since the credit card. In 2017, none of us involved in the creation of open banking in the UK, ever thought that it would be globally adopted and so important that, if implemented for all the right reasons, could impact social a...

You have probably seen the headlines about banks not being ready for PSD2 – as the deadline approached and then passed, they were hard to miss. While it is true that less than 50% of banks have met all of the requirements mandated by the EU legislation, this is far from the full story. The open banking outlook for Europe is, in fact, brighter than ...

“Data is the new oil” – you’ve probably heard this quote all too frequently by now. I can’t deny this is an interesting parallel, given data (just like oil) can be mined, stored and transformed in order to power other technologies and create value. However, I think this parallel is not only misleading, but dangerous when you consider the broader c...

Open Banking is unstoppable and is being discussed in almost every corner of the world – be it to increase competition, reduce cost, foster innovation or financial inclusion. In Open Banking, banks are opening up customer financial data and banking services to Third Party Providers (TPP) via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). For sure not ...
