This year marks the fifth iteration of Canada’s premier Open Banking event, known for influencing the roadmap and fostering productive collaborations in the industry.
Our strategic advisors, Daniel Kornitzer and Michelle Beyo, are both set to play crucial roles at the expo, and we couldn't be more excited to have them share their insights and experience.
Daniel Kornitzer, a payments expert and Strategic Advisor for Tillo, will be participating in a panel debate that addresses the main challenges of Open Banking implementation. In an environment where the regulatory framework is intricate, and consumer trust is paramount, this panel will explore the need for an urgent, collaborative approach to overcoming these challenges.
The potential rewards of Open Banking in Canada are significant, but it's essential to understand how to navigate the complexities, upgrade technical infrastructure, build consumer trust, and promote healthy competition without creating insurmountable barriers for smaller institutions. Be sure to tune into Daniel's panel at 11:55 on Stage 2 for valuable insights into this critical conversation.

This is a crucial discussion for anyone keen on understanding the dynamics of a shifting payments landscape, and we can’t wait to hear it at 11:30 am on Stage 2.
Michelle is also moderating a panel discussion titled "Open Finance Means Open Data – ignore it at your peril!" which will focus on the successors of Open Banking: Open Finance and Open Data. Expert panelists, including Eytan Bensoussan, Chief Executive Officer at NorthOne; Franklin Garrigues, Vice President of External Ecosystems TD; Sandy Kyriakatos, Chief Data Officer at Equifax Canada; and Steven Thomas, Chief Technology Officer at Portfolio+, will discuss the importance of engaging stakeholders from various industries early on to create an open ecosystem, the role of a Consumer Data Right (CDR), and how partnerships can be formed between competitors for the greater good.
