Pick a Card - Live @ Money 20/20, 2025

Recorded live at Money 20/20 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Eyal is joined by Jess Turner, EVP and Global Head of Open Finance & Developer Experience at Mastercard. Credit cards, and the networks that power them, have been a central part of the global financial system for over 70 years, providing far more than just payments. As money becomes more and more digital, the role these networks play as data brokers and data custodians, is evolving in lockstep, fueled even further by the rise of open banking. Far from being viewed as a threat, card providers have been rapidly evolving to embrace the new opportunities presented by open banking, open finance and open data. Eyal and Jess discuss how the card industry is being impacted by this shift, and how Mastercard is working to firmly position itself as one of the leading trailblazers. Specifically they discuss:How card networks unlock dataThe importance of open standardsRegion-specific considerationsTrust, consent and controlThe legacy of Mastercard
