Data has always been at the heart of banking, but the way it moves, connects, and creates value has fundamentally changed. From open finance infrastructure to AI-powered decisioning, banks today have access to more data than ever before, including their own. In this session, Plaid explores the evolution of data across the financial ecosystem and what it means for banks looking to modernize, compete, and better serve their customers.
