FData Open Banking 2020-2030 Summit was held on 5 December 2017 in London.

Thaer Sabri , CEO of the EMA did join the panel on Open Banking – the story so far. This panel session did examine the big issues of open banking’s journey to the mainstream.

The open banking movement is not new. The fintech industry has, for over a decade and in many geographies, been pushing for the acceptance and embracing of third party applications in customer-facing financial services. From 2013, the shifting sands of policy, regulation and commercial requirements has altered the landscape and rate of change. Concerted backing from UK Treasury and policy support in the EU has changed the game.
