Don Cardinal: "Let's talk about FUD; fear, uncertainty, and doubt." "There's this fear out there that 'Oh my gosh, open finance will lead to a mass exodus of my consumers. Nowhere in the history of open finance, open banking, in any jurisdiction, have we seen a mass exodus of consumers. Period." "UK, Australia, Brasil, other jurisdictions... it just doesn't happen."

Glad to see some familiar faces from the FDX Spring Summit
Localight CEO DW Ferrell cites the inclusive benefits of open banking and the opportunity based on real data to extend and expand access to credit.
Lisa Arthur: "Elaine, what advice would you give to US credit unions?" Elaine Jesus: 1) "Open finance only makes sense if it serves and improves the lives of users of the financial system." 2) "Choose reliable partners. Sensedia was an important and wise choice to help us with the challenge of implementing open finance."
FDX offers standards that equalize the playing field so regional banks and Credit Unions can leverage the "language of partnerships" with APIs.

3mo"Meet your customers where they are" is an important thing for community banks and credit unions to do in order to maintain relationships. Remember, Apple loves its 'walled garden' for iPhones, iPads, Macs and even *they* build apps for Google's Android platform. Why? Because Apple wants to 'meet its customers where they are' with Apple Music, Apple News, Apple TV+.
