Show notes
In this episode of The Fintech Files podcast, I speak to Rolands Mesters, the CEO and founder of Nordigen. Nordigen is an account data analytics platform for building powerful applications, onboarding flows, and customer experiences. What's unique about his vision of Open Banking is that it goes beyond banking and finance. Open Banking already offers great ways to manage your finance and maybe get a better deal, but the changes it brings could go much further than that. Open Banking could ultimately change the world we live in: It could help individuals to form better financial habits, make it easier to rent or buy a flat, or even help to fight wage inequality.
