  • Harnessing the Power of Open Banking with Deutsche Bank’s Joris Hensen

    On today’s episode, Research Associate Andrew Kim interviews Joris Henson, who pulls back the curtain on Deutsche Bank’s approach to open banking, revealing valuable insights into the evolution of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and giving us a taste of what the future might hold for this trailblazing sector. Joris will share stories about incredibly creative approaches he’s taken, like data cocktail bars and design thinking workshops, to identify needs and generate ideas. We’ll take a closer look at the Open Finance Framework in the European Union, contrast Meta’s reception against open banking, and ponder the potential impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in finance. Plus, Joris busts open the proverbial black box of airline points to reveal how AI could simplify complexities and discusses product innovation at Deutsche Bank, specifically DB Smart Access.

    “It’s about the small and big moments of life. And our vision is that with the help of open banking and through those partnerships, we can play a role in those small and big moments in the life of our customer.” – @Joris_Hensen
