OVERVIEW
The opportunities created by the EU’s Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD 2) for FinTech is well documented. Above all, open banking, where banks “open up” their datasets to other companies, is particularly exciting. While progress in implementing open banking has continued apace, will the disruptive innovation that has resulted from COVID 19 now be a driving force in accelerating open banking?
In this webinar, we have invited banking experts, working in the field of open banking initiatives, IT consulting, implementation of TEMENOS solutions, and payment services. They will discuss the state of the banking industry today, the disruptive forces driving open banking, and how COVID-19 will affect further developments. The discussion will also explore how the industry will transform as a direct result of COVID-19 and other forces.
