Canada’s Consumer-Driven Banking framework has entered its next phase and 2026 will be a defining year.
Following the Federal government’s commitment in Budget 2025 to complete the Consumer-Driven Banking Act and move oversight to the Bank of Canada, Open Banking Expo Canada is where the ecosystem will gather to discuss implementation, oversight, and opportunity.
Join 600+ attendees, 80+ expert speakers, and 20+ exhibitors for the industry’s most important conversation yet.
What’s on for 2026:
- Three powerhouse stages: Open Banking, Payments (featuring Real-Time Rails), and Open Finance.
- Expanded exhibition hall to meet growing demand from innovators preparing for Canada’s next phase of consumer-driven banking.
- The Open Banking Expo Studio: Watch leading voices share real-time reactions and insights from the Expo sofa.
- Pre-book targeted meetings with key players through the event app and connect face-to-face in the Networking Zone.
- The Powerlist returns celebrating the pioneers driving innovation and inclusion across Canada’s financial ecosystem.
- Wrap up the day with the Networking Drinks Reception, where The Powerlist 2026 is revealed and Canada’s Open Banking community comes together to celebrate progress.
This is the only event uniting regulators, banks, fintechs, and innovators shaping the future of Open Banking in Canada.
