LIve @ Money 20/20, 2025 - 1033: The Great Debate
Recorded live at Money 20/20 in Las Vegas, Eyal is joined by two guests at the center of the great debate surrounding open banking in the United States: John Court, EVP & General Counsel at the Banking Policy Institute (BPI) and Penny Lee, President & CEO at the Financial Technology Association (FTA). In late 2024, after many years of deliberation, the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released the final version of their Personal Financial Data Rights rule, also known as Section 1033. On the day of its release, the rule was immediately challenged in court, marking the beginning of a drama unlike any other in the open banking space. John and Penny represent the two major players on either side of the court case itself, making them uniquely qualified to discuss where American open banking is headed.
Specifically they discuss:
- How Section 1033 came to be
- What happened the day of its release
- Major issues in the great debate
- The validity of charging for data access
- Where 1033 currently stands
