      The Open Banking conference, sponsored by Fujitsu, aims to help financial sector executives ready their organisations for the new open banking era starting July 2020.

      The Open Banking initiative is the first implementation of Australia's Consumer Data Right. It gives Australians control over their financial data. When fully implemented, Australian banking customers will be able to direct institutions to share their data and as such be able to compare prices more effectively - and switch providers as they wish.



      The Open Banking conference is a 2-day event in Sydney (26-27 March 2019) designed to provide a productive industry meeting place where high-level strategies, challenges and opportunities can be shared among senior industry executives. The collaboration works to benefit everyone as each organisation moves forward to meet the deadlines imposed by the Australian Treasury.

      While the rollout deadlines have shifted backwards, they've now firmed with the initial 1 July 2019 start date as the launch of the beta test for the Big 4 - CommBank, ANZ, Westpac and NAB. The first set of consumer data will now become publicly available no later than 1 February 2020 with product and consumer data for mortgage accounts.

      From there, all banks are required to provide access to product, account and transaction data for credit and debit cards, deposit accounts and transaction accounts by July 2020. It means consumers can expect to have their data available to them in 2020 - and Australia moves into a new, more competitive, open banking era.

      A comprehensive and authoritative agenda

      The 2-day conference appeals to a wide audience in terms of roles and industry sub-sectors with an excellent selection of keynotes, roundtables and networking events discussing topics such as:

      • Capabilities and investments required to realise Open Banking
      • Infrastructure modernisation to enable service and product innovation
      • Cloud native platform and agile development as tools for innovation and unique customer experiences (panel presented by our speakers - meet them below)
      • Leveraging Open Banking for competitive advantage
      • Establishing strategic partnerships to accelerate innovation
      • Striking the right balance between privacy and openness
      • Obtaining consent for data sharing
