The European Open Banking and Open Finance ecosystem is evolving. Following the rollout and implementation of PSD2 Open Banking, the industry is moving forward. While the legislators review the PSD2 and an Open Finance Framework, private initiatives are taking off.
Open Banking Schemes like the SPAA, premium APIs and other initiatives are shaping the Ecosystem. Open Banking Exchange (OBE) Europe is a community pioneering the open banking movement ensuring all Members are consistently ahead of the curve. OBE is a pan-European, fully-inclusive initiative available to all parties within the open banking ecosystem. Members come together to proactively and jointly shape the industry to create commercial opportunities, collaborate, solve problems and remove risk.
Members of Open Banking Exchange (OBE) Europe can access our industry experts and the latest regulatory information, alongside best practices and support.
