On 13–14 October, Salt Edge will be in London for Open Banking Expo UK & Europe 2026 at the Business Design Centre. As Lead Partner of the co-located Open Finance Show, we’re joining the industry to share insights, explore new opportunities and shape the future of Open Finance together.
This year, the event will bring together 1,800 attendees, 200+ speakers and 50+ partners exploring how Open Banking and Open Finance solutions can be implemented, scaled and turned into real customer and business value. Alongside the main Expo, the Open Finance Show will focus on the commercial opportunities and evolving infrastructure shaping Open Finance, while the Open Banking Expo Awards will recognise the companies and individuals driving innovation across the industry.
Across five stages, the event will explore the commercialisation of Open Finance, from data monetisation and interoperability to AI-powered personalisation, cross-sector data sharing and embedded finance. The programme will look at how Open Banking payments will continue to reshape the payments ecosystem, covering VRPs, Pay by Bank, payment orchestration, cross-border payments, and the future of account-to-account payments.
For Salt Edge, these discussions are particularly relevant as the industry moves towards a more connected financial ecosystem — one where APIs, data, and infrastructure need to support not only compliance but also personalised and commercially scalable financial solutions.
