Open banking is now a reality, introducing new ways for financial institutions to stay compliant and capitalize on open banking-powered tools.
In this webinar, we’ll explore best practices for not only securely sharing consumer-permissioned data, but also leveraging it to fund accounts, enable payments, and reduce account and transaction risk. Learn how to optimize the entire customer journey by reducing friction, increasing conversion rates, and enhancing fraud prevention.
Although open banking timelines continue to shift, it’s crucial for financial institutions to engage now to stay competitive and avoid falling behind.
