Managing Director of Open Banking Expo, Adam Cox, comments: “We are delighted to return to Canada this year with a comprehensive virtual program. The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown businesses and consumers alike huge challenges; now is an even more important time to drive innovation in the market to help aid economic recovery. We will be joined by key players that make up Canada’s financial ecosystem as we look to invoke the greatest wave of digital innovation. The only question that remains is; will it be market or regulation-driven?”
