At the event's panel discussion, experts and representatives of various companies shared their opinions and predictions for the future of the fintech industry.
The impact of artificial intelligence was one of the main topics of discussion. Experts shared their views on how machine learning is transforming financial services by providing improved data analysis, automation, and increased security.
However, the main topic of discussion was open banking. For some, it has become an expected direction of development of modern financial technologies, but for others, it is a game-changer that will change most processes.
To understand the scale of open banking's impact and growth, we should pay attention to specific figures and indicators. Juniper Research has published a report that estimates the value of global open banking payment transactions will exceed $330 billion by 2027. For comparison, the value was $57 billion in 2023.
The financial practice of open banking allows banks and financial institutions to open their data and services to other companies via APIs. As a result, the global market will see an increase in innovative financial developments and greater competition. At the same time, consumers will have more control over their financial data through transparency and convenience.
Yulia Vitryak has her view on the impact of this trend:
“Although open banking has the potential to change the financial landscape significantly, the adaptation and implementation of new technologies will take time. It is important to understand that large payment systems have enough resources and experience to respond effectively to these challenges.”
