Washington, DC, March 24, 2025 – The Financial Data and Technology Association of North America (FDATA), a trade association representing more than three dozen financial technology and open finance companies in the United States and Canada, today announced, along with Open Banking Expo, a media partnership to amplify industry engagement and discussions around Open Finance.
The collaboration will support both organizations’ flagship events—the FDATA Global Open Finance Summit and Open Banking Expo’s regional summits—providing unparalleled coverage and expert insights to drive the conversation forward.
The FDATA Global Open Finance Summit, taking place May 5, 2025, in Washington, DC, convenes policymakers, financial institutions, fintechs, and regulators to shape the future of Open Finance across markets.
As Open Banking and Open Finance regulations continue to evolve globally, the summit will spotlight policy trends, consumer data rights, and emerging technologies.
Similarly, Open Banking Expo Canada and Open Banking Expo USA, scheduled for June 17, 2025, in Toronto, and June 26, 2025, in New York City, will gather leaders from across financial services to discuss Open Banking frameworks, data security, and innovation.
The media partnership ensures that insights, policy developments, and key takeaways from each event reach a global audience of industry stakeholders.
Steve Boms, Executive Director at FDATA North America, said: “This partnership is a natural step in strengthening global industry engagement on Open Finance. Both the FDATA Global Open Finance Summit and Open Banking Expo’s events serve as key platforms for fostering regulatory clarity, innovation, and collaboration.
“By working together, we can enhance industry dialogue and ensure that important discussions resonate across borders.”
Adam Cox, Co-founder and Managing Director of Open Banking Expo, added: “As Open Banking and Open Finance initiatives scale worldwide, we’re thrilled to partner with FDATA Global to elevate the voices of financial innovators, regulators, and thought leaders. Our joint coverage will help educate stakeholders and accelerate industry-wide progress.”
