We go behind the scenes with industry experts, sharing unfiltered conversations and exclusive insights from the frontlines of the banking industry to help YOU build the bank of tomorrow
Ten years of #openbanking - the revolution didn't happen, but maybe what we got was better?
Open banking was supposed to reshape banking. Instead, it mostly built the rails for what comes next and now AI may be the first thing powerful enough to run on top of them.
Andrew and Rik discuss why the disruption everyone feared never fully arrived, what PSD2 actually changed, and why the biggest legacy of open banking may be the infrastructure, not the market upheaval.
If you work in banking, fintech, payments, or regulation, you will be interested in our latest white paper "Open Banking and Embedded Finance in Europe: A Benelux Perspective on Regulation, Sentiment, and the Road Ahead" which you can find linked in the blog on our website here (https://thebankingscene.com/opinions/ten-years-of-open-banking-were-we-looking-for-the-wrong-revolution/).

Banking's Next Customer Interface: Building Trust in the Age of AI Agents
AI agents are about to sit between you and your bank, and that changes everything about trust, authorisation, and who is accountable when something goes wrong.
We sat down with Adam Preis, Director of Product Solution Marketing at Ping Identity, to unpack the new chain of trust emerging in financial services and why banks need to prepare for a world where your agent may be negotiating, switching, and transacting on your behalf.
Adam breaks down why identity is no longer just about knowing the customer - it has to govern what an agent is, whose authority it carries, what it can access, and which decisions it can make.
