Open Banking Expo UK & Europe 2026
Financial Innovation for Impact looks forward to attending Open Banking Expo UK & Europe 2026, together with our colleagues from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance - who are a Research Partner this year.
Open Banking Expo UK & Europe returns to London on 13–14 October 2026, bringing together the organisations shaping the next phase of Open Banking, Open Finance and Smart Data.
With the FCA roadmap now live and the Smart Data Bill in force, the industry has moved beyond discussion into delivery. This is where real progress is shared, challenged and accelerated.
Across two days, the agenda focuses on execution:
What Open Finance looks like in production
How the UK payments vision is translating into implementation
Where commercial models are working, and where they’re not
How Smart Data is expanding beyond financial services
Join senior leaders from banks, fintechs, regulators and the wider ecosystem to understand what’s actually happening on the ground, and what comes next.

Additionally, the Open Banking Expo Awards 2026 take place on 13 October in London, recognising the organisations delivering real impact across Open Banking, Open Finance and Smart Data.
These awards are about what’s been achieved, not what’s planned. From payments innovation and data use, to customer experience, infrastructure and AI, the Awards celebrate the people and businesses turning strategy into real-world outcomes.
