Raidiam Revealed as Headline Partner of Open Banking Expo Awards 2024
Open Banking Expo is pleased to announce Raidiam as headline partner of its Awards scheme, which recognise the innovators, trailblazers and visionaries from across the Open Banking, payments and Open Finance ecosystem.
Raidiam is the company behind the design and delivery of the world’s first trust framework for Open Banking in the UK and has gone on to be a driving force for data-sharing ecosystems globally, including Open Finance in Brazil.
Now in its fourth year, the winners of the Open Banking Expo Awards 2024 will be announced at an Awards ceremony on 15 October at the Business Design Centre in London.
The 14 categories include Best Start-up, Open Banking for Good, and Best Customer Experience, as well as three that are new for 2024 – Best Team, Best Sector Initiative and Best Regulatory Open Banking Initiative.
There are also two Women in Open Banking Awards categories that recognise the Woman of the Year and the Rising Star.
Barry O’Donohoe, co-founder and chief executive officer of Raidiam, said: “We are delighted to be headline sponsors of the Open Banking Expo Awards for 2024; a key event in the Open Banking industry’s calendar. I know first-hand how fiercely competitive the Awards are and the prestige that comes with being recognised as a finalist or indeed, a winner.”
He added: “The Open Banking sector is hugely innovative and forward-thinking. It is exciting to see how fintech and incumbents alike are applying the capabilities to different and unique use cases, all ultimately to benefit end consumers.
“As the company that underpins all fully functional national Open Finance ecosystems globally, securing every proposition, participant and interaction, this also means we provide the infrastructure for other fintechs to export to these markets. It’s therefore a pleasure to sponsor these Awards to mark and celebrate their achievements with them.”
Kelly Stanley, co-founder of Open Banking Expo, said: “We are excited to have Open Banking and Open Finance pioneer Raidiam as headline partner of our Awards scheme.
“With this year’s Awards ceremony set to be our biggest and best yet, having a headline sponsor of Raidiam’s calibre is the icing on the cake.”
She added: “The past year has seen significant advancements and innovations in Open Banking and Open Finance, which have been driven by both the market and regulation, and we look forward to celebrating these accomplishments.”
