We are thrilled to announce the upcoming Open Banking Summit, an event that will bring together industry leaders, innovators, and experts from all around the area of open banking and open finance. Mark your calendars for the 20th of August 2026 as we gather at Kraftwerk in Zurich to explore the future of banking and the transformative potential of consent-driven data sharing within the financial industry and beyond.
You can expect a diverse range of sessions covering various aspects of current open banking and open finance developments, such as impact on financial institutions, regulatory considerations, emerging technologies, data privacy, customer-centric use cases, and much more.
During the networking parts, there is also the opportunity to exchange ideas with the experts and guests. We are looking forward to an inspiring event!
