WEBINAR SERIES
Open Banking
Join the payments industry's leading voice — ETA — for a three-part webinar series unpacking the technology, competitive dynamics, and policy decisions shaping the future of open banking in the U.S.

Why Now
Open banking is reshaping how financial data is accessed, shared, and used — laying the groundwork for the next generation of digital payments. This three-part webinar series delivers a high-impact, expert-driven examination of the technologies, use cases, and policy frameworks driving that shift.

Why it Matters
As demand grows for data portability, real-time insights, and consumer-permissioned services, open banking is moving from concept to core infrastructure — creating new opportunities in account-to-account payments, small business cashflow tools, and permissioned data for credit and embedded finance, while raising critical questions around reliability, authentication, consent, and interoperability.

Defining Moment
With U.S. regulators considering a formal open banking regime centered on data rights, privacy, cybersecurity, and liability, the industry is nearing a defining moment. This series convenes leading experts to clarify what businesses need from data access frameworks, where standards and infrastructure gaps persist, and how policy choices will shape competition and innovation.
MARKET REALITY
Open Banking: Current Landscape
October 10 • 1PM ET
Free for Members • $99 Non-Member
Open banking is moving from early adoption to meaningful, measurable impact — with early use cases generating real business value while exposing structural gaps in data access, reliability, and customer trust. This session examines where value is being created today, and how data access, reliability, and customer expectations are shaping product design, trust, and competitiveness across financial services.
DISCUSSION TOPICS
- Where value is being created — from A2A payments to permissioned data for underwriting and liquidity
- The cannibalization question: does A2A threaten card economics?
- The consumer incentive problem: what will it take to move buyers off cards?
- Adoption dynamics and behavioral shifts
- Data access performance and its effect on trust
- Emerging use cases: embedded finance, platform models, and the merchant push around interchange
SPEAKERS
- Steve Boms, Founder & President, Allon Advocacy
- Nik Linsteadt, Executive Director, Product Head, Pay by Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase
SCALING UP
Competition, Standards, and Infrastructure: What Businesses Need to Scale
October 17 • 1PM ET
Free for Members • $99 Non-Member
Open banking will not scale on momentum alone. Fragmented standards, inconsistent data access, and infrastructure never built for broad, permissioned sharing create friction that suppresses competition. This session looks directly at the standards, infrastructure, and governance decisions that will determine who leads — and who gets left behind.
DISCUSSION TOPICS
- Standards and infrastructure gaps across APIs, authentication, and data quality
- Data access, authentication, and liability frameworks
- Defensive friction vs. true scale: are "performance gaps" protecting legacy revenue?
- Performance, uptime, and reliability thresholds businesses need
- Interoperability expectations across banks, fintechs, and third parties
- Economic models for data access and who funds the infrastructure
- Where government standard-setting helps — and where it doesn't
SPEAKERS
- Aly Yarris, Network Partnerships Leader, Plaid
- Kevin Feltes, CEO, FDX
BUILDING TRUST
Policy Frameworks and Oversight: Building a Durable Open Banking Framework
October 24 • 1PM ET
Free for Members • $99 Non-Member
Open banking will only achieve long-term stability and industry trust if its policy foundation is clear, enforceable, and aligned with consumer expectations. This session explores what should come first, how oversight should be coordinated, and what global experience can teach the U.S. as it builds its own approach.
DISCUSSION TOPICS
- Consumer consent, data rights, and revocation standards
- Privacy, cybersecurity, and data minimization
- Regulatory coordination across the CFPB, banking regulators, and states
- Liability allocation across banks, fintechs, and data aggregators
- What the U.S. can learn from the UK, EU, and Australia
SPEAKERS
- Danielle Aviles Krueger, Head of Policy, Plaid
- Tom Carpenter, SVP, Global Services Policy, Mastercard
- Paul Hadzewycz, Vice President, Consumer Regulatory Affairs, J.P. Morgan Chase
