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.

With the Smart Data Bill now in force, 2026 is about execution, not theory. Across four stages each day, plus The Engine Room podcast studio, the agenda brings together Open Banking, Open Finance, payments, Smart Data, trust & identity and the biggest issues shaping the market.

Alongside the conference programme, watch live podcast conversations in The Engine Room, experience our new audience-led Question Time format, connect with the industry in the Networking Zone and meet 40+ exhibitors shaping the future of financial services.

The Open Banking Expo Awards return on 13 October, celebrating the standout organisations and individuals driving the industry forward following a record year for entries.
