Accountability?
Compliance?

Editor's Notes

  • #6 Today, we see that the competitive landscape has become more complex than predicted with more players and increasing differentiation Fintechs have turned from competitive to colla-borative and the most active, like Tink, take the role as aggregators of bank accounts to serve banks and third parties Global banks are taking positions for the upcoming transforma-tion, with BBVA and Citi showing clear intents to become platform businesses Big techs implement financial services to attract producers and consumers to their busi-ness platforms and they represent real threats to the traditional banks Nordic banks have started a race for multi-banking with Danske in the lead in collaboration with Spiir and with DNB, Swedbank and OP coming up behind
  • #13 Two weeks ago at the Cash & Treasury Management Conference in Copenhagen, Finnair presented how they have benefited from partnering with Nordea to co-create new solutions through Open Banking. Finnair have been partners with Nordea for a long time and 1-2 years ago they started a discussions with Nordea on how you they could use Nordea Open Banking services for different kinds of customer financing cases. The discussions resulted in deciding to use Open Banking APIs for the purpose of ordering a co-branded credit card.  Finnair’s vison: “to be the best with new digital services for our customers and employees”
  • #14 “API’s can help us transform and extend to other parts of the value chain”
  • #15 Finnair loyalty customers want to use co-branded credit cards that help them earn Finnair plus points with their daily purchases However, the process of applying for a co-branded credit card is often very cumbersome The creation has required close collaboration between Finnair’s and Nordea’s
  • #17 Next example is a customer/partner we have talked about before.
  • #23 Capture and manage the consent and authorization of the customer in a transparent way. Manage the transferred payment and personal data in a secure way. Do not reinvent the wheel and pick industry proven methods off the shelf.. Define accountability because PSD2 does not require a contractual relationship between banks and TPPs. A FinTech acting as a TPP should guarantee an appropriate level of data security. Assess and set up the relevant AML processes and controls in the right spot of the PSD2 chain. Document the roles and responsibilities of all parties in the chain properly. Do not forget that the local regulator can audit you at any time…
