Sonar 1 — Open Banking insights

Open Banking (and Open Finance) is in development around the world. To help share knowledge, keep people connected, facilitate discussion and accelerate learning, Dgen is providing an ongoing global horizon scanning service.

 

Our process is continuous, systematic and participatory, including direct interviews and connections with global leaders in the field.

We will deliver actionable insights by combining market intelligence from around the world.

We will also highlight and document where alignment can be transformed into common principles and practice, and potential agreement around globally relevant approaches.
