FinanceX is an official Media Partner to Open Banking Expo UK & Europe 2026

FinanceX Magazine is proud to announce its official media partnership with Open Banking Expo UK & Europe 2026, the region's only dedicated Open Banking and Open Finance show. Taking place on 13–14 October 2026 at the Business Design Centre in London, the event brings together the innovators, disruptors and decision-makers shaping the future of the sector.

Now firmly established as one of the industry's flagship gatherings, a winner of Best Conference Series at the Conference & Event Awards, Open Banking Expo unites financial institutions, payments leaders, regulators and TPPs, alongside senior voices from retail, gaming, utilities, telecoms and transport. The 2026 edition is expected to welcome 1,800 attendees and more than 200 speakers across five stages, spanning 60+ sessions and 50+ partners.

With the Smart Data Bill now in force, the 2026 programme is centred on execution rather than theory. Content is organised around five core themes: Smart Data, Payments, Trust & Security, Future, and Open Finance, delivered through main-stage keynotes, a dedicated workshop theatre, the Networking Zone and the Innovation Zone.

The confirmed speaker line-up features senior leaders including Sacha Zarb (Senior Product Manager, UK Government Digital Service), Guneet Khalsa (Vice President, BNY), Vladimir Bendikow (Chief Data Officer, FirstBank UK), Garreth Dorree (Managing Director, Vinted), Joe Wilson (Chief Evangelist, bunq) and Conrad Ford (Chief Product & Strategy Officer, Allica Bank), among many other C-suite executives, policymakers and product leaders.

Registration is now open. FinanceX Magazine looks forward to seeing its community in London this October.
