Open Banking Expo launches new virtual event

The Open Banking Expo portfolio continues to deliver game-changing content

Open Banking Expo launches its Digifest virtual event from 24th to 26th November 2020, headlined by OpenWrks and  FICO.

We’re excited to be co-sponsoring this year’s Open Banking Expo with our friend and partner FICO. Over the last six months alone, we have seen Open Banking users double to two million. While this is a time of crisis, it’s also clear that it’s the catalyst necessary to encourage people to understand what they can afford to save, invest, borrow and repay, using the power of Open Banking. At OpenWrks, we’re proud to pioneer applications and partnerships that focus on helping consumers do exactly that and The Open Banking Expo brings together the people and businesses that are leading from the forefront and pushing Open Banking to its full potential
Steve Bradford, Chief Commercial Officer at OpenWrks 

The newest event in the Open Banking Expo portfolio continues to provide game-changing content delivered directly to a senior digital transformation audience across financial services and beyond.

The agenda featuring over 60 speakers and 40 sessions is now live at www.openbankingexpo.com/digifest, with free and premium access passes available.

Better data fuels better decisions, which is why we’re excited about Open Banking and this event. We see tremendous potential in applying AI and machine learning analytics to Open Banking data to improve decisions on affordability, collections, risk management, and other areas. This is the focus of our partnership with OpenWrks
Steve Hadaway, Vice-President & Managing Director, EMEA at FICO
