Open Future World - Most Interesting in Open Finance 2021

Open Future World, the global information source on progress in open banking and open finance, has released its inaugural 2021 Global Rankings. The rankings offer a snapshot of organisations which have been making open finance headlines around the world.

The 2021 rankings placed the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) at No.8 in its ‘Most Featured’ listing, alongside organisations such as Plaid, TrueLayer, MasterCard, Tink and Finicity. All these companies feature regularly in Open Future World’s popular ‘Daily Edit’ of the most interesting news and opinions.

The rankings recognise global industry achievements and thought leadership, from both leading brands and smaller organisations punching above their weight through great leadership.

Other UK organisations which appear in the Roll Call of Honour include the Financial Conduct Authority, HMRC and the UK government.

In geographical terms, organisations headquartered in the UK, USA and Brazil get the most mentions.

“Keeping up with the open finance movement is becoming ever more interesting (and demanding),” commented Open Future World co-founder Marie Walker. “These rankings provide a rich reflection of what is happening globally. We look forward to continuing to chart progress in 2022.”

The complete archive includes more than 5,000 individual mentions, featuring over 1,500 organisations across 72 countries. The searchable archive is freely available online allowing users to find mentions of any particular company, country or topic.
