In a time when Canada’s open banking framework is still taking shape, Saba will deliver a powerful call to action: that the financial ecosystem must not wait for regulation to lead. Instead, it must lead with purpose.

In her keynote, Saba will explore how open banking can unlock a smarter, more connected financial future—one built on secure, consumer-permissioned data sharing and a foundation of trust. Drawing on global models and real-world lessons, she’ll challenge the industry to move from promise to progress, and from fragmentation to collaboration.

“The time has come to drive forward Canada’s open banking journey and commit to purposeful action. It will take all of us to collaborate and build solutions that are scalable, secure, and truly customer-centric,” shared Saba. 

This is a must-attend session for anyone committed to shaping the next chapter of open banking in Canada.
