The modern-day, tech-savvy consumers’ demand for a more avant-garde service, gave rise to what’s now called the open banking revolution. And, it is changing the way transactional data is shared, used and stored outside Financial Institutions.

This paradigm shift is actively transforming the payments landscape, and with cryptocurrencies squeezing their way toward the innovation space, it looks like it’s set to play a significant role.
