Today Breaking Banks Europe is all about “Open Pensions and Open Finance”, specifically on the problematics of consolidating pensions using technology to resolve the pension problem for a lot of consumers – and we lean towards a recently released report by Plaid and Pensionbee (see link below), to open this conversation (and hence taking a special look into the UK space) with lessons learned can be applied anywhere in Europe.
