OBIE’s Charlotte Crosswell on moving the UK’s open banking initiative forward and her priorities as the first chair of the UK’s new Centre for Finance, Innovation and Technology

Today’s guest outlines how she believes UK lawmakers and regulators can best retain and grow a competitive fintech hub both in a tough economic period and the City’s new post-Brexit era. She details the achievements of the UK’s approach to open banking, and offers advice on how to move this initiative forward. 

These are ideas we should see feed through into action because Charlotte Crosswell is not only completing her mandate as chair and trustee of the Open Banking Implementation Entity, but has recently been appointed as the chair of the Government's new Centre for Finance, Innovation and Technology. Her 26-year career also includes roles as CEO of lobby group Innovate Finance, and president of exchange Nasdaq.
