“Banks in the Middle East, especially the GCC countries need Open Banking products to grow further and to cope up with the changing consumer behavior. Consumers want hassle-free on-the-spot touchless payment solutions and the banks can achieve it through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) powered Open Banking solutions.”

Finansystech is planning to open its regional office in the UAE and partner with financial institutions to aid them in their digital transformation journey. The mission of the company is to reduce the next generation’s access barriers to technology, promoting equality and opportunities for collaboration with open-source solutions.

The 2nd Open Banking Forum, which is organized by Cogent Solutions Event Management (CS Events), has brought together more than 200 bankers, financial professionals and fintech experts to examine the overall digital disruption in the banking and financial sector in the Middle East.

Welcoming Finansystech to the UAE, Mr. Nizam Deen, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CS Events and the 2nd Open Banking Forum, said, “We are delighted to welcome Finansystech to the Open Banking Forum and the UAE to explore opportunities and help the regional banks in their digital transformational journey. Open Banking Forum has been carefully created as a futuristic business conference to bring international expertise to support the local and regional banks in the Middle East.”
