Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I’m Tearsheet editor in chief, Zack Miller. My guest today is Stuart Rubinstein, CEO of Akoya. A spin out of Fidelity, Akoya is a financial data aggregator that lets the customers of financial institutions grant and revoke third party access to their financial data safely. Akoya facilitates this access and eliminates the need for consumers to share their user IDs and passwords. Stuart talks about Akoya’s roots and how he’s been thinking about data aggregation for years. He discusses the need for APIs, to move beyond the era of screen scraping. Rubinstein also shares his view of open finance and Akoya’s future. Stuart Rubinstein is my guest on the Tearsheet Podcast.
