Of FinTech’s 3 pillars, APIs are attracting attention as 1 of them. They have become an especially hot topic in Europe because the Payment Service Directive 2 requires banks to provide financial APIs by the end of 2017. In Japan, APIs still lag far behind blockchain in terms of attention, but unlike blockchain, which can still reasonably be called a research project, financial APIs are an urgent matter.
Against this background, the Open Data in Finance conference, which focuses primarily on financial APIs, will be held in London, the center of European finance, on June 14 and 15, spanning 2 days. June 14 is the workshop day, and the main conference is on June 15. Although I am hardly qualified, I, Nat Sakimura, have been appointed chair for the entire conference.
You can view the program on the Agenda page. It begins with an armchair chat between Gavin Starks, CEO of the Open Data Institute and chair of the steering committee for The Open Banking Standard, and Matt Hammerstein, Managing Director at Barclays. With panel discussions and roundtables featuring many experts, I believe it will be a valuable opportunity to understand the current state of financial APIs in Europe.
If you happen to be in London on June 15, please do join us.
See you in London.
The slides used that day are included below.
