Welcome Open Banking Excellence to Edinburgh

Open Banking Excellence is an initiative founded by the Edinburgh finTech community to promote the use and unlock the value of Open Banking.  Our focus is squarely on the practical benefits, use, adoption, education and awareness of Open Banking. Through a collaborative approach as an industry, we can highlight the pedigree of not only Edinburgh financial services background but of the finTech companies that have been working in this space for years.

Edinburgh’s strong financial services pedigree, the banking industry and finTech community are in a prime position to bring focus, education and understanding following PSD2 of what is now becoming a global trend.

The objectives of the group are to:

• Grow awareness of OpenBanking and consumer-driven benefits

• Establish Scotland (Edinburgh) as a place where Open Banking workers gravitate

• Increase expertise develop real-world use cases

• Educate, Inform, Entertain through engagement as a community, with the community

• Proactively contribute to adopting global standards for PSD2

This is all about how we showcase the value of Open Banking. How it can change the world and open up new opportunities for consumers and businesses alike.
