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.
