Open Banking Expo co-founder Adam Cox<\/p>\n
Adam Cox, co-founder\u00a0of Open Banking Expo, said:\u00a0\u201cOpen Finance is no longer a future ambition \u2013 it\u2019s becoming a commercial reality. The same is true for account-to-account payments and the next generation of payment innovation. Organisations are now focused on how they deliver,\u00a0scale\u00a0and create value, and that\u2019s exactly where this year\u2019s conversations are centred.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve brought together the people building the next generation of financial services and payments, from banks, fintechs and payment providers to merchants, regulators, policymakers and organisations driving innovation beyond financial services. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhether your focus is Open Finance, A2A payments, digital identity or Smart Data, if you want to understand where the market is heading next, these are the conversations you need to be part of.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
