Having an Open Banking mind in the financial industry

At times the financial industry can seem like one of those immutable pillars of the economy. Its not like the retail industry, which in little more than a decade, has radically changed its focus from bricks and mortar to digital – with all the logistical and marketing issues associated with it. Nor, is it like travel and hospitality which has been forced to reform due to price comparison sites, peer review, and convenient booking platforms. Save for sporadic innovations like ATMs, chip and PIN and online banking, the fundamentals of banking remain reasonably unchanged.
