Beyond Open Banking - Live @ Fintech Nerdcon, 2025
Recorded live at the inaugural edition of Fintech Nerdcon in Miami, Florida, Eyal is joined by Alex Johnson, the Founder of Fintech Takes, one of the most widely-read publications in the fintech industry. The United States' first real attempt at regulating open banking, known as Section 1033, has been anything but smooth; challenged on day one, declared unlawful, and stuck in court-ordered limbo. At the center of that chaos sits a deeper fight over who controls personal financial data and who gets to profit from it. Eyal and Alex dig into what this turbulence reveals, not just about America's uniquely chaotic path to open banking, but about the questions every market must eventually face around standards, cost recovery and trust, questions which only grow more urgent as agentic AI enters the picture. Ultimately, this leads to the biggest question of all, one that reaches far beyond open banking: How do we create a world where we have the right to control our own data?
Specifically they discuss:
Regulatory chaos in the U.S.
Charging fees for data access
The role of shared standards
Agentic AI and open banking
The future of data rights

LIve @ Money 20/20, 2025 - Pick a Card
Recorded live at Money 20/20 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Eyal is joined by Jess Turner, EVP and Global Head of Open Finance & Developer Experience at Mastercard. Credit cards, and the networks that power them, have been a central part of the global financial system for over 70 years, providing far more than just payments. As money becomes more and more digital, the role these networks play as data brokers and data custodians, is evolving in lockstep, fueled even further by the rise of open banking. Far from being viewed as a threat, card providers have been rapidly evolving to embrace the new opportunities presented by open banking, open finance and open data. Eyal and Jess discuss how the card industry is being impacted by this shift, and how Mastercard is working to firmly position itself as one of the leading trailblazers.
Specifically they discuss:
How card networks unlock data
The importance of open standards
Region-specific considerations
Trust, consent and control
The legacy of Mastercard

LIve @ Money 20/20, 2025 - 1033: The Great Debate
Recorded live at Money 20/20 in Las Vegas, Eyal is joined by two guests at the center of the great debate surrounding open banking in the United States: John Court, EVP & General Counsel at the Banking Policy Institute (BPI) and Penny Lee, President & CEO at the Financial Technology Association (FTA). In late 2024, after many years of deliberation, the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released the final version of their Personal Financial Data Rights rule, also known as Section 1033. On the day of its release, the rule was immediately challenged in court, marking the beginning of a drama unlike any other in the open banking space. John and Penny represent the two major players on either side of the court case itself, making them uniquely qualified to discuss where American open banking is headed.
Specifically they discuss:
How Section 1033 came to be
What happened the day of its release
Major issues in the great debate
The validity of charging for data access
Where 1033 currently stands
