🏦 What Really Counts as a Bank? Clearing Up the Digital Banking Confusion In this Future Bank Working Group session, Brian Lo, Risk Management & Regulatory Strategy Expert, breaks down a critical distinction in the world of digital finance: not every company calling itself a "bank" is actually licensed as one. 💡 From payment platforms to full-fledged digital banks, the regulatory landscape matters—and knowing who’s allowed to do what can make or break your compliance strategy. 🔹 The difference between payment licences vs full banking licences 🔹 Why some fintechs stretch the term "bank"—and why regulators care 🔹 Surprising players in the digital banking space (yes, even 7-Eleven in Japan!) 📊 See the infographics in this 90-second teaser and get clarity on the evolving definitions in digital finance.

🚪 From Closed Doors to Open Data: Why Open Banking Matters In this Future Bank Working Group teaser, we zoom out to see the bigger picture: how access to financial data has evolved—and why open banking is the modern-day answer to monopolies of the past. 💡 Just like antitrust laws a century ago broke up corporate strongholds, today’s open banking and open finance regulations are prising open the gates of financial services. 🔓 Why this matters: 🔹 Major banks no longer control who gets to innovate. 🔹 Open banking laws like PSD2 (Payment Services Directive 2) are giving consumers real control over their data. 🔹 Smaller banks, fintechs, and even non-banks can now compete on a level playing field. This 60-second clip breaks down the shift from gatekeeping to game-changing—and what it means for the future of finance. 📺 Watch now to understand how regulation is driving innovation, not holding it back. 👉 Join FBWG to access the full session and more: https://bit.ly/424sSMy 👉 Or purchase this session for $200 USD: https://lnkd.in/gfpWy2P2 John Januszczak; UBX #FutureBank #OpenBanking #EmbeddedFinance #TheAsianBanker #TABGlobal
