How open is Open Banking?

On January 2018, the Payment Services Directive II (PSD2) comes in force for all European banks. What this means for the banks and their customers and more interestingly what new type of players appear and what they can do?

I argue that despite the regulation being poorly crafted from a technical point of view, it will lead to some structural changes in the industry. Moreover, I believe this is just the beginning of a “modularisation” process in financial services and new functional business blocks will be developed autonomously and separately from the vertical technology stack of the incumbent banks.

If you are familiar with banking architecture or not, I hope the talk will reveal some of the opportunities out there for starting new businesses in the new financial services landscape.
