Join us for an engaging discussion in “Understanding Open Banking: From PSD2 to Global Adoption,” with insights from Lasma Kuhtarska, co-founder & chief strategy officer at Noda. As we decode the concept of open banking, a revolutionary change in the financial services industry, Lasma leads us through the intricate weave of open banking’s origins, growth, and the promising future it heralds. Originating with the European Union’s pivotal PSD2 regulation, open banking dismantled traditional banking monopolies over customer data, giving rise to a new era of financial empowerment and innovation. This discussion with Lasma Kuhtarska aims to shed light on how open banking has become an integral part of today’s financial ecosystem and how it continues to gain momentum among consumers and financial institutions alike.
It all started with the enforcement of the PSD2 regulation in Europe in 2018, which ended traditional banks’ monopoly over customer data. PSD2 mandated banks to share customer information with licensed third-party providers through secure application programming interfaces (APIs). This can only happen with customer consent, of course.
Open banking data sharing has versatile applications across industries and operations, from lenders and payment platforms to budgeting apps, KYC and compliance. Fintech companies can use the data to innovate and create tailored products.
Open banking has significantly gained popularity in recent years, and customers have become more willing to adopt it. The latest UK Open Banking Impact report, for example, revealed that in the six months to June 2023, over 11% of British consumers were active users of open banking, an increase from 7% in 2021.
The increase in consumer demand for open banking is due to several factors. First, open banking offers a more personalised and convenient banking experience, which users prefer. Second, open banking encourages competition, which means better products and services. In the past years, it enabled the emergence of new business models and boosted financial inclusion.
Collaboration among banks, fintech companies and regulators will play a key role in the further adoption of open banking. For example, in 2024, the new PSD3 in Europe will be finalised. Regulations in other markets, for example, in the US, will also serve as the decisive factor on the global expansion of open banking.
