OBL's Trustee Marion King was pleased to speak at the Open Banking and Payments APPG yesterday centred around the National Payments Vision (NPV). Marion highlighted the strong progress made to date - with growth in open banking payments up 73% year-on-year, and 23.66m payments made in December - but also the huge opportunity ahead of us to drive economic growth through innovation in payments. Crucially, upgrading the infrastructure will require collaboration between industry and regulators to establish the value of these opportunities in relation to their cost. The NPV provides the right framework to take this forward, and OBL will continue to work with all actors - including the APPG - to make its aims a reality.

Open banking and smart data schemes have great potential to deliver cost savings and consumer opportunities across the UK economy, but consumer protection and trust are essential to support wider adoption. We ask three industry experts to set out what regulation is needed to support this. >> https://lnkd.in/e9Grrih2 Jane Moore Financial Conduct Authority | Dr Mahlet (Milly) Zimeta Which? | Deborah H.

Have a read of a brilliant report by Startup Coalition and the Tony Blair Institute - 'Making Smart Data Happen'. The report covers how building on the proven success of open banking, further smart data schemes (in this case, finance, energy and property), can drive inclusive growth to the tune of £27bn. #OpenBanking #SmartData #OpenFinance #Innovation #DigitalInnovation #TechInnovation #Payments #Data
Today we've launched a new report with the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change on how the Government should make Smart Data happen. With the upcoming Data (Use and Access) Bill, set to become law by Spring 2025, the UK has a unique opportunity to transform how data empowers consumers and businesses. This legislation can put people back in control of their data, driving growth, reducing energy bills, and even speeding up the house-buying process. But turning potential into reality requires action. 🔑 What is Smart Data? Today, regulated Smart Data exists in the form of Open Banking, which has 11 million UK users and is powered by a £4bn fintech ecosystem. But beyond this, startups across the UK are already powering "smart data" solutions, from connecting user energy data to help cut bills, to speeding up the property buying journey - but right now they face friction and cost. 📜 The Bill will expand the regulated framework, enabling secure and efficient data sharing across key sectors including: 1️⃣ Open Finance: Extend data sharing to savings, investments, pensions, and mortgages to boost financial inclusion and innovation. 2️⃣ Open Energy: Unlock smart meter data to lower household costs, support net zero goals, and promote sustainable practices. 3️⃣ Open Property: Transform the house-buying process by streamlining and digitalising data sharing. 🛠️ Making it Happen: The Government must adopt a mission-led, cross-departmental approach to unleash Smart Data’s full potential. With consumers at its core, Smart Data can drive innovation, improve public services, and modernize digital identity systems for both the public and private sectors. 💡 The Prize? £27bn in economic value. This is a call to action. We have the tools—let’s make sure they are used. You can read the full report below, alongside a blog post from Tony Blair Institute for Global Change's Alexander Iosad. We’ll be discussing this new report as part of our Making Open Finance Happen panel with Moneyhub later today - come along!

OBL CEO Henk Van Hulle commented: "Providing consumers with easier access to their data and the ability to share it with third parties can drive competition and innovation in different economic sectors. The announcement of the Data (Use and Access) Bill last year signalled clear intent from the Government about the importance of building on open banking’s data sharing principles to deliver a smart data economy that the Department for Science and Technology estimates is worth £10 billion over 10 years."

Delighted to see the fintech industry strongly advocating for increased government involvement in open banking. The public sector is already benefiting from A2A payments, with the option to pay by bank available with government entities HM Revenue & Customs, and NS&I
Greater #government adoption is the “most important” of all ingredients needed to ensure the number of people using #openbanking technology continues to rise in the UK, a #fintech industry leader has said. Charlotte Crosswell OBE, who is chair of the Centre for Finance, Innovation and Technology (CFIT), was speaking at the ‘#Payments Regulation and Innovation Summit 2025’ in London (21 January). Her fellow panellists during a session on ‘Open Banking and #OpenFinance: the Future Direction of Payment Systems to Promote Competition and #FinancialInclusion’ were Janine Hirt, chief executive of Innovate Finance; and John Mowat, head of strategic policy at Pay.UK.
