Every financial transaction generates data, which means that every business in the financial services sector has a hugely valuable resource right under their nose.

And while PSD2 will usher in an era of open APIs, it does so in a whisper – offering only payment data and thus an incomplete picture of a customer’s full financial life. The future is open APIs that make all data available – and create a foundation for anyone to build services that result in better financial choices for us all.
Instead of resisting, banks should embrace the opportunity to embrace the spirit of PSD2. First mover advantage is huge.
