techUK and the Open Banking Implementation Entity are delighted to invite you to a joint webinar on 15 July 2021 on financial inclusion and open banking. The pandemic has impacted societies across the globe and changed the way people work and access services. As a result, many more individuals and companies need access to tailored and fair financial services. From vulnerable customers to the gig economy and SMEs, the spectrum and needs are diverse and broad. In the context of the economic recovery and the impact of COVID-19, financial inclusion is key to ensuring we deliver growth for everyone across the regions and nations. Open banking has driven innovation and helped customers throughout the pandemic access essential services, including payments, receiving benefits and financial services advice. In this webinar, we will be exploring how open banking has empowered vulnerable customers and everyone at risk of being excluded from accessing vital financial services.
On 20th April techUK invited to the Open Finance and Inclusion Summit. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted societies across the globe and changed the way many people work and access services. Financial services (FS) sit at the core of the economy and enable a wide range of activities from accessing salaries and benefits, mortgages, and cash and capital management. Industry and government reacted quickly and at an unprecedented pace to establish new schemes and processes to continue to support the economy and communities. Throughout 2020 we have seen the real value of digital finance, how it can transform the way everyone accesses, stores and moves money. Not embracing the digital transformation journey could be detrimental to the resilience of the ecosystem as well as customers’ ability to access essential services. Efforts are also required to ensure that no one is left behind and that everyone can access and benefit from the entire financial services ecosystem.
techUK and Open Banking co-host this flagship conference, providing insights into open banking successes and exploring opportunities for the UK to expand open banking principles to other sectors and the wider economy.
