Open banking and payments innovations: what have we learned and what might the future hold?

The Bird & Bird Fintech team are delighted to invite you to our open banking and payments panel event!

On Tuesday 6 June, we’re delighted to be joined by Ahmed Badr (Chief Operating Officer, GoCardless), Steph Lopes (Chief Legal Officer, Volt) and Anastasia Evans (General Counsel and Company Secretary IFX Payments) who will be exploring a range of topics alongside members of our FinTech team, including:

  • Open banking past, present and future: following the Joint Regulatory Oversight Committee’s (JROC) recent publication of its recommendations for the next phase of UK open banking, what’s worked well so far and where might the future of open banking be heading?
  • Innovation in payments and the future UK payments regulation: five years after the implementation of PSD2 and in the wake of the UK Treasury’s review and Call for Evidence on the Payment Service Regulations, what are the lessons learned, the successful innovations we’ve seen and the further innovations we might expect to see?

This is an in-person event aimed at legal and industry professionals, so if you’re interested in open banking and payments, please do join us!

We very much hope to see you for what will be a fascinating event with insights from a wide spectrum of stakeholders in the payments space.
