The Mastercard Keynote Fireside Chat will explore the critical role trust plays in Open Finance. The conversation will focus on financial inclusion, data responsibility, and opportunities for all ecosystem participants. Trust, they emphasise, is foundational to the success of Open Finance. It ensures that consumers feel confident their sensitive financial information is handled securely, transparently, and with their consent. This confidence drives wider adoption of open finance services and innovation by enabling seamless integration of various financial products while maintaining data privacy and security.
