Open Banking was introduced by the government last year to encourage the development of new financial products and services to provide more choice for customers. After banks have implemented dedicated APIs for third-party providers in September, consumers should soon start to see the benefit of the innovation as new products and services are rolled-out. As the largest event of its kind, attendees at the Open Banking Expo will discover how this new technology will continue to disrupt traditional methods of banking and payments.

Open Banking Expo’s managing director Adam Cox, comments: “Open Banking is on the road to transform how we use financial services. The challenge of making this new way of banking more accessible remains, but Open Banking has incredible potential to improve people’s lives through new tools and services such as those designed to help people in debt. Now in its second year, the Expo is a unique forum to explore how Open Banking will change financial transparency and choice for consumers.”

Managing director of headline partner OpenWrks, Olly Betts, comments: “The next twelve months are set to be the most exciting yet. With consumer awareness on the rise, the impact that Open Banking has for the people that can truly benefit from it is more apparent than ever. With the launch of businesses such as Tully and Toucan that use Open Banking as a force for good, the true value is only just being realised.

But the ecosystem isn’t stopping there it’s continuing to collaborate, grow and improve and events like The Open Banking Expo help make this happen, it brings together the biggest and the best from incumbents to fintechs to the government to discuss all things Open Banking. At OpenWrks we’re looking forward to being the headline sponsor of this prestigious event for the second year running.“
