Together, they examine how open banking is taking shape across Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, offering insights informed by their respective regions. Between them, they provide a global perspective on the evolution of open banking, not only based on activity in different regions, but across the three main pillars of open banking infrastructure: data sharing, real-time payments, and digital identity. David delves into the UK's early open banking implementation, Don explores the U.S.’ market-driven approach to open finance, and Michelle shares her advocacy for a human-rights-based view of data ownership.
