How Can a Bank Start Offering BaaS

While COVID has thrown traditional banking operations in disarray but it has also established new fintechs in the financial services business.

Fintechs like Open, Bajaj Financ...

An open finance model for the world

Open finance has gained an unstoppable momentum. From its beginnings in Europe, open finance has spread rapidly to the Americas, Australia, India, and my own company’s home market of Indonesia - among others. There have been different models to get us to this point. Europe, which claims to be the 'cradle of Open Banking,’ is regulator-led thanks t...

Open Banking pushback shows consumers need guidance

Open Banking is amazing - but could be so much more

Open Banking is a flop, it’s too costly, “clunky”, and businesses struggle to make money from it. That was the view of Anne Boden, CEO of Starling Bank, speaking to MPs on the Treasury Committee in October 2021. But, there's increasing evidence that her view is untrue or, at least, incomplete. While it’s true that there are hurdles to overcome in t...

Why Open Banking Heralds a New Era of eCommerce Merchant and Bank Collaboration

What do banks fear most? You might think it would be another Black Monday on the stock market, the spectre of runaway inflation, or maybe a digital heist that ruins their reputation.

For a Better Financial Outlook the Future of Banking Must Be Personal

In 1776, Adam Smith proclaimed in the Wealth of Nations that “Consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production.” [1] Since then, academics, governments and others have tried to predict and model consumer spending. However, the reality is that even at the personal level it can be challenging for individuals to predict and plan their own sp...
