Open Banking Expo, the show dedicated to open banking and open finance, has partnered with Goodkopp Communications, the London-based PR agency, and has also revealed the headline sponsor for its award ceremony.
The eagerly-anticipated Open Banking Expo UK & Europe 2024 is set to return on 15 to 16 October in London, boasting over 150 powerhouse speakers from financial services, fintech, government, retail and business.
Mirroring recent trends and future developments in tech and legislation, the event introduces two co-located shows, Open Finance Show and Smart Data Show, and will showcase the latest innovations in open banking, open finance, smart data, payments, regulatory updates, fraud and financial crime, and use cases from around the globe.
Adam Cox, co-founder and managing director of Open Banking Expo, commented: ”After sustained growth over the past five years, open banking worldwide is ripe for mainstream adoption, and its learnings serve as a blueprint for the further transformation set in motion in open finance and open data.
“As the platform for the industry, we aim to accelerate and support this evolution towards an ‘open future’, and that’s why we brought onboard Goodkopp, a specialist B2B tech and fintech communications agency, to facilitate and boost media exposure for the entire ecosystem – event exhibitors, speakers and partners.”
Open Banking Expo expects around 1,200 delegates from financial institutions, TPPs, payments players, regulators, and policymakers to attend, representing sectors such as retail banking, SME lending, utilities, gaming, telecoms, transport, and retail.
Cristina Hlinschi, founder and director of Goodkopp Communications, said: “Open Banking Expo is a uniquely powerful event, as it brings together the best of the global community of open banking and open finance experts, policymakers and regulators, tech enablers and business beneficiaries.
“Collectively, they have transformed financial services and made it so much easier for consumers and businesses to access and manage their daily finances.”
Benefiting consumers and businesses alike
Open Banking Expo has also revealed the headline partner of its Awards scheme, which aims to recognise the most innovative firms and individuals across the open banking, payments and open finance ecosystem.
Raidiam, the firm behind the design and delivery of the world’s first trust framework for open banking in the UK, is the main partner. The firm has also gone on to be a driving force for data-sharing ecosystems globally, including open finance in Brazil.
Now in its fourth year, the Open Banking Expo Awards 2024 will announce winners at a ceremony on 15 October at the Business Design Centre in London.
Barry O’Donohoe, co-founder and chief executive officer of Raidiam, said: “As the company that underpins all fully functional national open finance ecosystems globally, securing every proposition, participant and interaction, this also means we provide the infrastructure for other fintechs to export to these markets. It’s therefore a pleasure to sponsor these Awards to mark and celebrate their achievements with them.”
