Open banking is a trend that goes against the historical hesitancy that banks have had to integrate their systems with 3rd party software and platforms, due to strict consumer privacy laws. Following the game-changing nature of PSD2 in Europe, banks are required to open their payment infrastructure and customer data assets to third parties. This will force banks to cooperate with Fintech companies, and seek innovation, as they will no longer only be competing against other banks, but against anyone offering financial services.
