Vinod Ralh, , will share stories of where platforms and open data can combine in the pursuit of social purpose.
Such stories illustrate the emerging opportunities for the payments sector to positively impact on social issues that matter – helping those who are amongst the most vulnerable and disenfranchised in of society.
Vinod will draw from experiments and learnings from Open Banking built on early Australian open banking concepts and now being implemented for global organisations and the firms efforts on Open Data Platforms.
The session is envisioned to highlight the potential of platforms and data to improve the lives of people from all walks of life.
This was presented at Payments NZ The Hub conference.

Deloitte Australia’s Director of Platform Engineering, Vinod Ralh, kicked off his presentation by sharing stories about the vulnerable and disenfranchised in society. He then used the stories to illustrate the emerging opportunities for the financial services sector to make a positive impact on social issues.
Vinod spoke about the power of open banking platforms and open data, and how they can be used to improve the lives of people from all walks of life. If we reframe social issues such as poverty, unemployment and social exclusion into what is needed to provide people with the essentials of life, open banking platforms can be used to start helping lift up people and communities.
These platforms can be used to give people such as the unbanked access to financial services. Their data, with their consent, can also be shared between social agencies to determine what wrap-around social services should be provided and when to offer them.

7. Our wanderer of galaxies
The loss of family
Alone. Anger
Living in a ghetto, behind barbed wire fences
Fleeing war
Hope, A
new
country.
In a ghetto. Again.
Anger. Alone.
Futility. Unfair life.
8. Feel the pain of the survivor
Set in poor rural outback town
Leave protagonist at end with a sense of
hope. Though much still needs to be
worked out.
A sense of foreboding.
Don’t show the violence
but the reaction to it.
