Our second Open Banking Showcase of the year, sponsored by Husdon Gavin Martin, took place on day two of The Point 2024.
With Aotearoa New Zealand’s four largest banks set to offer the API Centre’s Account Information standard by 30 November 2024, this session previewed the future of account information in open banking and new solutions on the horizon.
We gathered local and international experts to share insights on the future of open banking, showcase the possibilities of account information APIs, and highlight open banking’s connections to other financial innovations and its potential for social impact.
