Cash was king—until it wasn't. Then, cards took over. Today we're seeing a similar scenario with #openbanking payments. Just as credit cards revolutionized payments decades ago, open banking is poised to become a game-changer. In this article, Trustly explores the growing potential of open banking payments as a strong alternative to traditional #cardtransactions. Credit cards weren't always king of the wallet. Initially, customers doubted their practicality, especially for things like fast food payments. Now, “less than 10% of Americans primarily use cash to pay for purchases,” with cards leading the way. With each technological advance, payments become faster, more secure, and more convenient. Could open banking payments follow the same path as credit cards?

Nigeria is taking a unique approach to #openbanking consent management by using the existing BVN system as the foundation. The BVN, implemented in 2014, has already proven effective in reducing fraud and simplifying verification processes, and its integration into the Open Banking Consent Management System (OBCMS) seems like a natural progression. This approach offers several advantages, including streamlined customer onboarding and a consistent consent management experience. However, it also presents challenges like a potential single point of failure and privacy concerns. Looking ahead, the success of this initiative will hinge on how well the OBCMS balances the benefits of the BVN-based approach with measures to address the potential drawbacks. Is this a good move? Share your thoughts below👇 Head over to our blog for the full read! #CBN #openbanking #consentmanagement
