If you ever question why collaboration pays, look at this result: advocacy groups from the #payments industry including UK Finance and The Payments Association have prevented well-meaning but disproportionate regulators from imposing 'creative' but what would have been seriously damaging changes to safeguarding regulations in the UK. The team at Travers Smith led by Natalie Lewis and Matt Humphreys highlight this outcome in their article, explaining how the changes being made will mean EMIs and PIs can continue to compete on a level playing field. World class collaboration.

𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗞 We’re entering a pivotal phase in the UK’s open finance journey — one that moves beyond theory into tangible delivery. This year, we’ve actively engaged stakeholders and built a robust evidence base. Our latest research note, drawing on work by KPMG and Europe Economics, explores the current state of open banking and open finance in the UK. We’ve also launched two new TechSprints to accelerate innovation and shape the roadmap ahead. The sharing of financial data is already underway — but we’re pushing further. Through our sandbox, we’re exploring how smart data can enrich real-world testing environments. That’s why I’m pleased to announce our new partnership with @Raidiam, who will provide stable, production-grade sandbox access to support experimentation and scale. This work aligns with our 5-year strategy and the UK’s ambition to lead globally in open finance. It’s about anchoring confidence for industry investment, enabling leadership and coordination, and building on the momentum we’ve seen with Variable Recurring Payments. 🔗 Learn more about our partnership, the TechSprints, and how to get involved: https://lnkd.in/e2Dqz37y #FCAGrowth #SmartDataAccelerator #FinancialRegulation Colin Payne Matt Lowe Simran Singh Jasmin De Freitas Simone Plances Jessica Rusu Matthew Long Kate Collyer
