What’s Been the Best Thing About Open Banking Expo?

Now in its seventh year, Open Banking Expo has been the go-to fintech event for more than 1,200 delegates from financial institutions, payments and regulators who represent sectors such as retail banking, SME lending and retail. 

But what is the best thing about the Open Banking Expo? We asked some of the attendees what makes it stand out in our latest 60 second video.

There were a number of different reasons why the Open Banking Expo resonated with the attendees that we spoke to.

Connecting in-person and being able to engage with the right people stood out as significant as one of the best things about Open Banking Expo is the diversity and range of sizes of organisations who were participating. 

Several speakers mentioned how valuable it was to engage with colleagues, clients, their partners and potential clients face-to-face with Todd Clyde from Token stating “Banks are here, third parties are here, our customers are here, payment providers are here, so all gathered in the one place hearing from regulators, hearing best practices, hearing from the industry” 

After all, reaching the right decision-makers within the fintech ecosystem is crucial for a business to grow. Another speaker also echoed the progress of the Open Banking Expo, noting the people from all parts of the industry are under one roof – from start-up to scale-up to big enterprises.  

One of our interviewees even described Open Banking Expo as having “a good vibe,” which is a nod to the event’s role as a hub for ongoing inclusivity, bringing in leaders in the financial industry and the opportunity to have interesting conversations from across the ecosystem. 

Others say that the conference is “Really engaging and having interesting conversations with people from all over the show.” 

Next time, we’ll be finding out what meaningful connections were made at the conference.
