Canada’s must-attend Open Banking event returns for a fifth year to influence the roadmap and get deals done

Open Banking in Canada is underway, with a Made in Canada framework starting to take shape. Following the delivery of the Final Report of the Advisory Committee, practitioners are beginning to build the initial tranche of products and services, and the working groups continue to provide insight and guidance around critical questions of privacy, security, accreditation, and liability.

However, open questions remain: how far can we progress after a slow start to implementation? Do we expect to be further hamstrung by roadblocks in regulations? Will the banks embrace a truly open environment? Is there any real money to be made this year? Which model of governance will work for Canadian financial services? And have we all even agreed on what ‘true’ Open Banking will look like going forwards?

Join us in June to unpick these crucial questions and truly move the dial in anticipation of the roadmap announcement.

THIS YEAR’S THEMES

REGULATION

We're unpicking the next steps in the implementation roadmap and exploring the current state of the market, including when we can expect write access and how it will accelerate the time-to-value of existing products. We’ll get the inside scoop on the working groups, including current progress and future roadblocks. Join us to break down international regulatory environments, benchmark Canada against the global Open Banking landscape, and dive into developments coming out of the USA.

ADOPTION

We'll uncover how to develop a commercial go-to-market strategy, deliver seamless user experiences, and launch innovative products that appeal to risk-averse Canadians. You'll get to grips with the practical steps that can be taken to embed privacy and security into customer-facing Open Banking products. Join us to examine how Open Banking can reach Interac levels of market penetration, speculate what the breakthrough use case could be, and debate whose role it is to educate the market.

MONETIZATION

The question of how to monetize Open Banking remains top-of-mind for business leaders. We'll explore how FIs and fintechs have implemented Open Banking into their business models to increase revenue, reduce costs, and improve customer engagement – and examine concrete strategies to convince line-of-business leaders to adopt API programs. Join us as we dive into successful commercial use cases from other regions and map the landscape for future Open Banking efforts.

ARCHITECTURE

As Canada wrestles with the complexity of developing a shared “language” for its Open Banking initiative, we explore how financial institutions and third-party providers can ensure that their APIs comply with the regulatory requirements of different jurisdictions and are secure enough to protect sensitive customer data. Join us as we make the case for why both incumbents and challengers will benefit from an open ecosystem.

OPEN FUTURE

Despite being in its infancy, industry insiders and technologists are bullish on Open Banking’s transformative impact. From Australia’s data portability approach, to the accelerating pace of innovation in Brazil, we’ll explore how industry evolution to a more open environment will give customers better experiences and more control over their data. Join us to add your voice to the open future forecast.
