Open Banking Expo Canada
Open Banking Expo Canada 2026 is set to bring together key players in finance, regulation, and innovation. The event will focus on shaping the future of Open Banking as Canada enters a critical phase in its Consumer-Driven Banking framework. Over 600 attendees, 80 expert speakers, and 20 exhibitors are expected to participate in discussions on implementation, oversight, and emerging opportunities.
The two-day event will feature three dedicated stages: Open Banking, Payments (including Real-Time Rails), and Open Finance. Attendees can explore an expanded exhibition hall, engage in pre-booked meetings, and visit The Open Banking Expo Studio. The programme will also highlight industry leaders through The Powerlist, celebrating pioneers in the field.
The Federal government has already committed in Budget 2025 to finalise the Consumer-Driven Banking Act and transfer oversight to the Bank of Canada. With 2026 marked as a defining year, the expo aims to unite regulators, banks, fintechs, and innovators to drive progress. The event will close with a Networking Drinks Reception, where The Powerlist 2026 winners will be announced.
Registration is open via the official website, and the full agenda is available online for review. Organisers have designed the event to foster collaboration, with structured sessions and networking opportunities throughout.
Open Banking Expo Canada 2026 will provide a platform for industry-wide dialogue on the next steps for Open Banking in the country. The event’s mix of expert discussions, exhibitions, and networking is intended to accelerate implementation and innovation. Details on registration and the agenda can be found on the expo’s official site.
