Souvenirs from SIBOS 2019
Last month the Open Bank Project participated as an exhibitor at Sibos, the world’s largest financial service event. We are super grateful to everyone who visited our booth in London. It was great to exchange with and meet so many of our community members in real life. Thank you!
For those who weren’t there, here are our key takeaways:
-
Open Banking is everywhere: not surprisingly, lots of the chat and conversations revolved around Open Banking. And it was the same on the stands – Open Banking was the omnipresent buzzword. Good validation!
-
From Open Banking to Open Finance: spookily, we noticed that the open banking conversation is now spilling over to adjacent sectors, with offerings and discussions of corporate APIs, trading APIs and much more.
-
FinTech took the big stage: for an event focused on traditional banking, it was great to see lots of innovation and crowds of FinTech actors kicking around. There was a whole stage dedicated to FinTech and lots of enriching debates and discussions.
-
Climate discussion was also present at Sibos: we really appreciated that Sibos chose to contribute to climate change awareness by providing Oyster cards for the London subway, encouraging all delegates to use public transport. For our part, our CEO Simon went to London on the train and we just moved our OBP sandbox to Ireland as we prepare for wind power.
Looking forward to next year’s edition in Boston!
