Open Banking is rapidly transforming the world’s financial and technology sectors. In Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) launched the Interbank Account Data Sharing (IADS) initiative last year. The IADS initiative was developed with strong support from the banking industry and sets clear rules and standards for customer-consented sharing of bank account data among participating banks. It enables customers to securely and efficiently share account data between participating banks, subject to explicit consent, and provide a solid foundation for financial innovation.
To accelerate collaboration between fintech firms and the banking sector while supporting the growth of Hong Kong’s fintech ecosystem, we are organising the IADS Developer Hackathon, in collaboration with the HKMA as co-organiser. Leveraging HKSTP’s extensive network and expertise on the IADS Developer Platform, the Hackathon aims to drive impactful innovation and advance Hong Kong’s vision of becoming a leading digital economy.
Join us at the IADS Developer Hackathon Opening Ceremony!
