Tracking progress and helping regulators, central banks, enterprises and consortia to create consent-driven data sharing ecosystems. Open Banking, Open Finance and more - marie.walker@raidiam.com
A very good look at data exchange for financial inclusion, a weekend's worth of embedded finance insights, plus more open finance news and views... This ends a very exciting week for us at Raidiam and our friends at obconnect, with go-live of confirmation of payee in New Zealand (delivered in less than 4 months). We'll be celebrating with a drink or two at Open Banking Expo in London next week - hope to see lots of you there! Another highlight this week was chatting to my hero Efi Pylarinou 🙌 Sharing below the full open finance and embedded playlist featuring more of my favourite thinkers and do-ers: FDATA Europe's Ghela Boskovich, Meaghan Johnson, Shaul David and Lars Markull And, an absolute pleasure to spend time with Meaghan Johnson at her Future of Financial Services event on Tuesday. Superb content and audience. I really enjoyed our panel on CX with Jas Shah, Nadav Mordechai and Abdullo Kurbanov. I highly recommend this event for 2025 and I can't wait for Meaghan's forthcoming open banking book... And finally, catching and keeping my attention today are: Banked :, Waave, Hang Seng Bank, Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), dLocal, Cobre, Pockit, Monese, Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC), Jamile Leão, Rogerio Melfi, Embedded Finance Review's Lars Markull, Center for Financial Inclusion (CFI)'s Edoardo Totolo, Ivan Mortimer-Schutts, Alexandra Rizzi, Colin Rice and Anindita Chakraborty Have a lovely weekend 😁 ____________ open-conversations.org is my selection of the most interesting open finance / open X related news, papers and podcasts I've seen each day. Shared with you in the hope that you find this useful too. The headlines are an update at a glance and my website is searchable for the topics, companies and countries of interest to you https://lnkd.in/dj-7rQcF With grateful thanks to trust framework and data sharing ecosystems enabler Raidiam for providing the trust framework infrastructure that enables consent-driven data sharing - and my slightly obsessive tracking of progress! 😁 #openbanking #openfinance #A2A #financialincusion #embeddedfinance #paymentsfraud #confirmationofpayee
