I think they’re going to be pretty well positioned to roll this out right as well.” – Chad Davis“Every time we give a password, we’re violating our fraud protection. That’s just a nonsensical stance to take.” – Jason Pereira“Whether or not you’re China or whether or not you’re a Canadian bank, the more you try to stop the flow of information, the more that information is going to flow.” – David Watchel“I think that there’s a herd instinct in well–established banks in most jurisdictions, and once you get that first domino toppling, it’s difficult for the other banks not to follow.” – Edward BurkeResources Mentioned:Facebook – Jason Pereira’s FacebookLinkedIn – Jason Pereira’s LinkedInFintechImpact.co – Website for Fintech ImpactJasonPereira.ca – Sign up for Jason Pereira’s newsletterWoodgate.com – Website for Woodgate FinancialXero.com – Website for XeroLiveCA.ca – Website for LiveCAResponsive.ai - Website for Responsive AI Hosted on Acast.

The hope is that Open Banking makes financial transactions and banking transparent and simple. Tweetable Quotes:“This is a way to unplug the power of some very large institutions and deliver more value to the entrepreneurial community...everyone should be aligned on this kind of thing.” – Andrew Moor“The message that I take from the advisory committee’s work is they strongly believe that government absolutely needs to play an important role in designing the framework from a legislative standpoint.” – Ben Harrison“The real gating factor is actually the approval and I think that’s always been the biggest risk to this process. And now we have a framework through which to shape the discussion.” – Daniel Eberhard“The general how we’re going to do this hasn’t necessarily been fully addressed yet. It’s more so we need to do this.” – Jason Pereira“It is really hard to be good at tons of things.” – Jason Pereira Resources Mentioned:Facebook – Jason Pereira’s FacebookLinkedIn – Jason Pereira’s LinkedInFintechImpact.co – Website for Fintech ImpactJasonPereira.ca – Sign up for Jason Pereira’s newsletterWoodgate.com – Website for Woodgate FinancialPortag3 Ventures – Website for Portag3 VenturesEQ Bank – Website for EQ BankKOHO – Website for KOHO Financial Hosted on Acast.

In this 160th episode of Fintech Impact, Jason Pereira, award-winning financial planner, university lecturer, writer, and host interviews Frederik Mennes (OneSpan), John Pitts (Plaid), & Yoseph West (Relay) to discuss the state of Open Banking in the United States! Episode Highlights: ● 0:50 – John Pitts introduces himself and Plaid. ● 1:32 – Yoseph West introduces himself and Relay. ● 2:08 – Frederik Mennes introduces himself and OneSpan. ● 3:22 – What is the state of affairs in the US for Open Banking right now? ● 5:52 – Frederik addresses the fundamental differences between the US and Europe in their approaches to Open Banking. ● 7:00 – How has the state of regulations in the US impacted Relay’s growth? ● 8:30 – What are the incentives and motivations for Plaid’s clients on the bank side? ● 11:34 – Frederick shares about OneSpan’s client education around security in Open Banking. ● 13:30 – John explains why he thinks that regulations are not as vital as some might think. ● 16:47 – What is going right and what needs to be fixed in the US situation? ● 24:49 – How do US companies regulate the risk of moving to APIs? ● 27:46 – Is it reasonable to draw a compliance line for customers with a certain value of assets? ● 29:48 – Jason and Frederick weigh the risk vs. reward of Open Banking for smaller banks. ● 31:39 – How much pushback does John see from Plaid’s screen scraping guidelines? ● 36:08 – Where does Yoseph feel constrained in the current system? ● 41:00 – Everyone shares the one key thing that they believe the US Open Banking system should focus on moving forward. 3 Key Points 1. While the US finds itself years ahead of Europe on the practice of Open Banking, it finds itself an equal amount behind Europe on regulations. 2. Open Banking companies in the US face the challenge of switching over to Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) without risking data and client rights. 3. Screen scraping, or consumer data extraction for automation of previously-manual actions, is still allowed under PSD2. It has actually been updated in its security measures. Tweetable Quotes: ● “It’s no secret that Europe has been pretty much at the forefront of the Open Banking initiatives around the world through initiatives such as PSD1 and PSD2.” – Jason Pereira ● “To actually deliver true open banking, the dream that we all think of...I think that’s a dream that will only exist as a result of Challenger or Neobanks.” – Yoseph West● “At this point, regulation is actually very helpful to create a level playing field for security. Regulation can help to make sure that all the players in the ecosystem...implement the right security technology.” – Frederik Mennes ● “The key thing that makes the US market special is that it is being driven by consumer demand.” – John Pitts Resources Mentioned: ● Facebook – Jason Pereira’s Facebook ● LinkedIn – Jason Pereira’s LinkedIn ● JasonPereira.ca – Sign up for Jason Pereira’s newsletter ● Woodgate.com – Website for Woodgate Financial ● Plaid – Website for Plaid ● OneSpan – Website for OneSpan ● Relay – Website for Relay Hosted on Acast.

The bigger that number is, the harder it is to cut that check.” – Jason Pereira Resources Mentioned:Facebook – Jason Pereira’s FacebookLinkedIn – Jason Pereira’s LinkedInFintechImpact.co – Website for Fintech ImpactJasonPereira.ca – Sign up for Jason Pereira’s newsletterWoodgate.com – Website for Woodgate FinancialLinkedIn – Jennifer Couldrey’s LinkedInThe Upside Foundation – Website for The UpsideUncharitable – BookBillion Dollar Loser – BookThis Could Be Our Future – Book Hosted on Acast.

In this case, Billd gets to act as the bad guy for the contractor.Even with a slow adoption curve, more and more innovative technology is being used in the construction industry, such as robot learning and 360-degree job site digital views. Tweetable Quotes:“In construction, contractors rely so much on those upfront payments and often times it’s a limiter to growth and starting the business altogether.” – Christopher Doyle“What we’re really talking about here is the reduction of burden for working capital within a business.” – Jason Pereira“If we’re going to burden someone in that process, it’s the supplier...We try to keep our contractor doing what they do best.” – Christopher Doyle“When you have a small group of people working tightly to build something from scratch, those little things actually will annoy the heck out of you.” – Jason PereiraResources Mentioned:Facebook – Jason Pereira’s FacebookLinkedIn – Jason Pereira’s LinkedInFintechImpact.co – Website for Fintech ImpactJasonPereira.ca – Sign up for Jason Pereira’s newsletterWoodgate.com – Website for Woodgate FinancialBilld.com/ – Website for Billd Hosted on Acast.
