Open Banking For Good Mr. Open Banking

    • Entrepreneurship

Open banking isn’t just about finance, it’s also about improving society. One of open banking’s key facets is its ability to create non-zero sum outcomes, meaning that one person’s gain doesn’t equal another person’s loss. Globally, we need to consider how best to harness this quality as we move towards a brighter, greener and more equitable future. In this episode, Eyal sits down with Faith Reynolds, champion of the open banking for good movement. Faith has been in open banking since the beginning, and has worked on a multitude of unique challenges, ranging from enforcement and redress all the way through to accessibility, vulnerability and other issues concerning financial inclusion. Today, Faith is on the board at Fair4All Finance and is a driving force behind Current Account Switch Service at Pay.UK. Together, they discuss how open banking can be used to create a better world, where banks are not just engines of capitalism but also engines of social good. 


Specifically, Eyal and Faith discuss: 

Do banks currently provide a social good?;

Exploring the Open Banking Manifesto; 

How open banking can improve vulnerability, accessibility, and inclusion;

The real needs of the underbanked; 

The right of individuals to claim value from their data.
