Innovate Finance Global Summit 2017
The Innovate Finance Global Summit and the Guildhall in London had an international line-up and a great agenda. I was asked to chair the panel on Open Banking, which I was very happy to do.

The essence of the discussion was, I felt, quite positive. The panel focused on the potential opportunities coming from open banking (open API access to bank accounts and services) rather than fixate only on the threats to the incumbents. You can watch it on YouTube if you like.

"Open banking provides a huge opportunity for price comparison and aggregators" ... we couldn't agree more 💪🏼 #IFGS2017 @dgwbirch
