Open Banking Expo is excited to announce the launch of the Powerlist 2025, a celebration of the Open Banking and Open Finance disruptors, visionaries and pioneers in Canada. 

The inaugural Powerlist will shine a spotlight on the trailblazers who have led the charge in driving meaningful change in the industry over the past 12 to 18 months.
