Work with our Advisors

Open finance is the next stage in the open banking journey. It has the potential to expand access to financial services driving innovation and broader participation in the digital economy.

Industry stakeholders will benefit from the practical experience of Open Banking Exchange (OBE), which helps regulators and central banks around the world reap the full rewards of open banking.

OBE collaborates with central banks, regulators, and market participants to set out national and local commitments and goals.

We learn from other regions alongside building on our work in Europe, South America and Asia to guide open banking implementations.

We design standards so that they become applicable in specific jurisdictions and achieve the specific goals of our clients.

We provide industry experts to assist in practical and operational design, the implementation of industry-level governance, and technical and operational arrangements.

“Our co-operation with OBE over the past few years has been very fruitful already and we would like to strengthen this further given the many outstanding issues around Open Banking and the need for applying the lessons learned to Open Finance.”

Framework & Methodology

OBE ensures that open finance will be rolled out quickly, efficiently, and in a way that maximises competition and financial inclusion. We take national standards and tools all over the world, helping countries to participate on a global scale and help their communities benefit from financial services.

When it comes to developing open finance, OBE has ready-made frameworks, enabling increased productivity and accelerated delivery. Regardless of the jurisdiction, OBE can use its assets to map specific regulatory requirements and fit them into a broader context and process. This is far quicker than starting an open banking project from scratch.
