Why Open Banking and Platforms and Where to begin?

Across the globe, Platforms are increasingly demanded by customers, and implemented by incumbents. This is proving to be the largest provider of the change in the modern financial services industry. But from Open Banking to platforms, from digital ecosystems to APIs, from PSD2 to Third Party Providers, it can be very confusing. For this reason, CFTE has designed this Masterclass to give you a sound understanding of how platforms are transforming financial services.
