2026 Agenda Sessions
Keynote: The confidence gap: What open Finance still gets wrong - and who has to fix it
Open finance is moving fast. The risk frameworks governing it haven't kept pace. When a fintech connects to a credit union's customer account and something goes wrong, who is responsible? Right now, the answer is unclear - and the consequences fall on the institution.
In this session, Kyle Hauptman, Chairman of the USA's National Credit Union Administration, and Jessica Rusu, Chief Data, Information and Innovation Officer of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority, join Louise Beaumont from Invela, to diagnose the gap and to explore what we each need to do to close it.
This is Government meets Industry. But it's not a policy discussion. It's a blueprint.
