🗣️BANKSapi on tour! This week, our managing directors were invited to speak twice at important industry events. 🔆On Tuesday, Reinhard Tahedl gave a presentation on "Unlocking Open Finance Opportunities" at the VOTUM Verband event "Grown-up meets Start-up“ at the Allianz Forum in Berlin. He addressed the opportunities for financial service providers arising from #OpenBanking and #OpenFinance. BANKSapi's #SmartDataAnalytics in particular can be used to identify new sales potential based on financial data streams. This can be realized in #FinancialHomes or in #FinancialReports, for example. 🔆On Wednesday, Felix Baaken and Manuel Wanner-Behr presented their idea of a FIDA scheme at the congress "IT for insurers" #mkit from Versicherungsforen Leipzig GmbH. With the planned EU regulation #FIDA, data holders will have to share data with data users within the framework of a Financial Data Sharing Scheme at the request of the customer (consumer and companies). This brings challenges for financial service providers such as banks and insurance companies, but also immense opportunities! ‼️Financial service providers urgently need to start preparing for FIDA and Open Finance to not miss out its opportunities! 🙏 Thanks to the organizers for the great events and the numerous participants who listened to us with interest.

🆕 Have you already noticed our new website? 🆕 We have recently launched a new website that positions us more clearly as an #OpenBanking and #OpenFinance specialist as well as a connectivity provider. Our product range is now clearly structured: ⭐ 𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗞𝗦/𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 (Account Data) ⭐ 𝗣𝗔𝗬/𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 (A2A Payments) ⭐ 𝗔𝗜/𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 (Data Analytics)  ⭐ 𝗛𝗨𝗠𝗔𝗡/𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 (Frontend Solutions) ⭐ 𝗥𝗘𝗚/𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 (PSD2 License-as-a-Service) The site is not finished yet...but when will it ever be? Many thanks to the team who have been working hard on it 🙏 . Thanks also to Ulrich Wolf for the beautiful design and the really productive collaboration! A lot of work that was worth it in the end. 

In Munich, do what the people of Munich do. Last week we had our legendary company #Oktoberfest aka "Wiesn". The Oktoberfest is the largest of its kind in the world and, as a Munich-based company, attendance is practically a must and the highlight of every year. After our Town Hall meeting, we headed to the Hacker tent - the “Bavarian heaven”. With motivating company updates, the atmosphere was then relaxed with tasty food 🥨 and traditional drinks 🍻 We are united by our passion for working on the product, perfecting #OpenBanking and developing #OpenFinance applications. We had a lot of fun together and laughed 😁, sang 🎶 and danced 💃🏻🕺🏻 #bestteam

A huge thank you to Tizian Bürger and Thomas Huber at Kong Inc. for hosting such an outstanding event! It was a fantastic opportunity to dive deep into #FIDA and our blueprint of financial data-sharing schemes (#FDSS), exploring how these innovations are set to reshape the financial landscape.

A special shoutout to Markus Beck and Ashley Osborne for their insightful contributions during the session and both of you as well as Ken Kim for the great time hanging out later at the Wiesn event—looking forward to more of these moments! Thank you to everyone who attended, asked questions, and made the session lively and thought-provoking Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to drive innovation in #OpenFinance!

💪 Together we are simply more powerful! We are proud to be an official member of BiPRO e.V., the standardization institute of the German insurance industry, which is dedicated to connectivity - just like us at BANKSapi! As a connectivity provider, we look forward to working with BiPRO e.V. to drive the topic of #OpenInsurance forward. With our expertise in the areas of APIs, API-fication of use cases, data exchange systems and schemes, we are ideally equipped to make a valuable contribution. Together with BiPRO and other initiatives in Germany and Europe, we want to make Open Finance a reality for all citizens in the #EuropeanUnion. We are convinced that our cooperation represents a further step towards a networked and open financial world. Let's shape the future together! 🌐🤝

Let the discussions begin! BANKSapi is the first to propose a concept for the #FIDA Financial Data Sharing Scheme. Last week we released our white paper about a "Blueprint for a Financial Data Sharing Scheme". The future FIDA (Financial Data Access) regulation will require a data exchange system (scheme) with which data holders and data users can organize data traffic. This will encourage innovation! Find the download link for the whitepaper in the comments below.

It's a match! 😍 “As one of the pioneers of #OpenInsurance, FRIDA - Free Insurance Data Initiative has certainly done trailblazing work. At BANKSapi, we see ourselves as a connectivity provider for #OpenBanking from the very beginning and in future also for #OpenInsurance and #OpenFinance. In this respect, we are a good match”, concludes Manuel Wanner-Behr.
