Snippet (from Episode 255) - Louise Beaumont, Head of Marketing and Communications at Invela Network, Breaks Down Why Banks, Fintechs, and Regulators Face Different Confidence Gaps in Open Finance.

🎙️ Open Finance Doesn’t Have a Data Problem. It Has a Confidence Problem. Who can see where your data goes once it leaves the bank? And who is responsible when something goes wrong? In this episode, Louise Beaumont, Head of Marketing and Communications at Invela Network, breaks down why banks, fintechs, intermediaries, consumers, and regulators all face different confidence gaps in open finance. 💡 The real challenge? Data moves horizontally, while regulation is often built to operate vertically. What open finance needs is a way to manage data and risk as it crosses regulatory boundaries, creating the same kind of confidence we have in everyday systems we simply trust. 🔐 Better visibility. 🤝 Clearer accountability. 🌐 Stronger trust in open finance.

She has spent decades working at the heart of global finance, from shaping open banking policy at Mastercard across 29 countries to advising the UK Government on its Smart Data Council.

On The Menu: Why banks lose visibility once data leaves their perimeter What happens to open finance if Invela didn't exist The "brain worm" moment that gets budgets approved Why bilateral agreements can never scale in open finance What category creation really means with zero benchmarks Why regulators are cautious by design, not by choice The real reason fintechs are investing cautiously in open finance
