Carlos will be speaking about the current and future opportunity of Open Banking and the impact this will have on social and financial inclusion. He will focus on how the landscape will change as it relates to the roles of Banks and Fintechs but also the impact it will have on consumers both banked and primarily the unbanked through products and services we are yet to see.

And you all know this strikes a chord with me…

To share a little about more. “Open Vector is a professional consultancy firm specializing in open banking, GDPR, PSD2 and payments as it relates to legal & regulatory, data standards, compliance, strategy, and technical architecture. Open Vector works with governments, financial institutions and corporates in advising on the why and how to implement open banking but also addressing the opportunity that this global movement brings commercially, strategically but also from a social and financial inclusion perspective.”

Philip James, Partner, Sheridans Law Firm.

Talks about Open Banking presenting a landmark opportunity. Yet over-eager innovation can irreparably scar consumers’ trust in new entrants and drive customers back to their customary safe havens. In addition, innovation and privacy law may offer new entrants the opportunity to obtain more meaningful data. What fundamental issues should be considered in open banking data sharing models to avoid the kinds of exile suffered by Aldous Huxley’s protagonists?
