Making Good on the Promise of Open Banking
Requires Technology and Solid Execution

Open banking is here and is showing no signs of slowing down.

According to a recent Finastra survey, 56 percent of US financial institutions (FIs) surveyed regard open finance as a “must have”, up from 45% in 2021. Globally, the open banking market is expected to grow to $43 billion by 2026 from its value of $7 billion in 2018.

With the advent of open banking, consumers can now manage their financial information, accessing it across different platforms, benefiting from a smoother, more personalized experience in the process.

In this Finextra blog, Kathy Stares, executive vice president, North America with Provenir, explains how FIs must change – analytically, operationally, and even culturally (no longer owning customer data) – to benefit from the open banking revolution.
