For the power of Open Banking and opportunity of Open Finance to be truly realised, collaboration is key. This is where it happens; the innovators, disruptors, and visionaries converge to propel the industry forward, forge valuable partnerships, and drive future regulation.

Not only do we host an unrivalled audience blend of financial institutions, payments players, regulators, and TPPs, but international policymakers are flying in to set the agenda alongside leaders from retail, gaming, utilities, telecoms, and transport. If you’re not in the room, you’ll be on the outside looking in as the future of Open Banking and Open Finance unfolds.

With the Smart Data Bill now receiving Royal Assent, 2025 is the year of delivery, not just debate. Be part of the movement shaping real-world use cases across sectors – from financial services to utilities, telecoms, and beyond. Co-located with The Payments Show, Open Finance Show and Smart Data Show, this powerhouse of events is the only place where the entire ecosystem converges to create a more open, interconnected future.

The Open Banking Expo Awards return to shine a spotlight on the standout achievements and collaborations of the past year. The shortlist is live — tables are selling fast, so book now to join the industry’s biggest night of celebration.
