FINOS [virtual] Meetups:
- July 1 Danese Cooper of Nearform
- Topic: Debunking common fears about Open Source
- Register here
- July 2 Jonathan Haggarty, Head of Open Banking Technology at NatWest
- Topic: Open Banking, our Journey
- In the space of two years, NatWest has gone from having 0 APIs to serving 10s of millions of hits every month, thanks to the 100s of software development companies that can now integrate with them. The scale of achievement is matched by the scale of the challenge involved in getting there – Jonathan and his team had to enable ten brands, influence the wider ecosystem, and encourage parts of the bank to change their ingrained mindsets. Join this webinar to get some insight into the challenges faced both by NatWest’s technical teams and the wider business – and how Jonathan's team led NatWest’s move from operating a closed shop to building an API Platform on common standards for the wider fintech community.
