Mountain View, CA, June 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As the Australian government seeks to give consumers control over their data, banking will be the first industry in line to implement the new rules. Outlined in Open Banking , the national Consumer Data Right (CDR) for banking data, the requirements also set the stage for innovative digital products and services that add value to consumer and enterprise experiences, alike. To help banks and financial institutions understand the opportunities brought by the open data initiative, Seshika Fernando, WSO2 head of financial solutions, will present a talk at the Open Banking Summit. The event is being held on June 19-20, 2018 at Pullman Sydney Airport, Mascot, Australia.
The session, “Open Banking: Opening the Door to Digital Transformation”, will run Tuesday, June 19 at 1:50 p.m. (AEST). In this presentation, Seshika will explore the technology requirements of CDR to provide consumers better control over their data. She then will examine how this initiative paves the way for banks and financial institutions to step into new business models through digital transformation. Additionally, she will discuss how banks stand to benefit from an open data ecosystem if they craft the right strategy and use the right tools. Along the way, she will incorporate observations from working with financial institutions to meet the European Union’s second Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2), which went into effect earlier this year. Key topics of discussion include:
- The journey from open APIs to open banking – an ecosystem for digital transformation
- Building an open banking strategy for long-term success
- Realizing the digital transformation opportunities of open banking
