For the power of Open Banking and the opportunity of Open Finance to be fully realised, collaboration is non-negotiable. This is where it happens; the innovators, disruptors and decision-makers come together to move the industry forward, build meaningful partnerships and shape what comes next for regulation and real-world adoption.

We bring together an unmatched mix of financial institutions, payments leaders, regulators and TPPs, alongside policymakers and senior voices from retail, gaming, utilities, telecoms and transport. If you’re not in the room, you’re on the outside looking in as the future of Open Banking and Open Finance is decided.

With the Smart Data Bill now in force, 2026 is about execution, not theory. Four stages live each day, plus a dedicated workshop theatre, means more content, more connections and more opportunities to turn strategy into action.

This is the one place the entire ecosystem comes together with intent. The conversations you have here will shape your roadmap, your partnerships and your competitive edge for the year ahead. Miss it, and you’re reacting to a market others have already helped define.

The Open Banking Expo Awards return to recognise the standout achievements driving the industry forward. Entries are now open, don’t miss your chance to be recognised on the industry’s biggest stage.

Why attend

The conversations that matter

Across two days, 180+ industry leaders from financial services, fintech, payments, retail, leisure, utilities, telecoms and beyond share how they are turning strategy into execution in an Open Data world.

Open Banking Expo Awards
