Innovation is the key word to describe the Open Finance model adopted in Asia. With an open framework for sharing APIs, Singapore has become a regional hub for data sharing in the financial sector.
As the market prepares for the next steps of Open Banking in Brazil, Instituto Propague invites interested stakeholders to learn about the Singapore Open Finance model with Nydia Remolina, researcher at SMU Centre for AI and Data Governance and professor at Singapore Management University.
Directly from Singapore, Nydia Remolina will share data from the Monetary Autority of Singapore (MAS) and present how the Open Banking/Open Finance model was built in Asia, focusing on Singapore’s experience. She will also share her insights on the main results of this endeavor for traditional financial institutions, fintechs and small businesses, besides the development of a regional ecosystem covering Southeast Asia, India, and China.
Open Finance in Singapore is a market-led initiative, supported by the regulator, and covers many products and services – from digital payments to insurance to credit and investment products.
The webinar is free and will be delivered in English. Register below!
