Washington, DC, Nov. 11, 2026 — The Financial Data and Technology Association (FDATA), a trade association representing 25 financial technology companies and consumer-permissioned data access platforms, has added two open banking experts to its Board of Directors: Maisie Bilotti, vice president of external relations at MX, and Kevin Hughes, director of product management and product lead for the AllData Aggregation product line at Fiserv.
“I’m honored to work alongside industry leaders committed to advancing consumer financial data rights,” says Bilotti. “Consumers deserve meaningful choice and control over their financial data, and I look forward to championing policies that protect those rights, foster innovation, and support a more open and competitive financial ecosystem.”
As MX’s vice president of external relations, Bilotti educates policymakers and regulators on designing laws and regulations that empower consumers to become financially resilient. She specializes in financial data policy and consumer advocacy, bringing more than 15 years of experience in the technology industry. Prior to joining MX in 2024, Bilotti worked at Google in San Francisco and Washington D.C., focusing on congressional relations, privacy and competition policy, and partnership strategy.
“Given Fiserv’s unique role in this ecosystem as both a data provider and data recipient, we bring a different perspective to the table,” says Hughes. “I believe we can help shape the regulatory environment to benefit both consumers and financial institutions as we move forward under open banking.”
Hughes has been at the forefront of Fiserv’s open banking initiatives, including developing AllData Connect, a product that integrates external aggregator traffic to more than 2,000 Fiserv hosted banks and credit unions. He negotiated data access agreements with many financial institutions and oversaw the migration of Fiserv’s aggregation platform into the OAuth framework. Hughes also has served as Fiserv’s representative to industry organizations working to navigate the regulatory market.
“Maisie and Kevin bring incredible capabilities and experience to FDATA’s efforts to advance consumer data access and ownership rights in North America,” says FDATA Executive Director Steve Boms. “They combine technical expertise and significant advocacy experience with a passion for advancing the types of innovation that are needed to help consumers navigate an economy marked by lack of affordability and uncertainty.”
