FinTech Policy Roundtable on India’s Open API Policy to encourage fintech innovation
Under the Digital India initiative, the government has mandated an open API policy for five key programmes – Aadhaar, e-KYC (know your customer), e-Sign (a mechanism for digitally signing documents that is legally accepted), proposed privacy-protected data sharing, and the Unified Payments Interface or UPI. The emerging solutions could further the cause of financial inclusion and reduce complexities in transactions.
India FinTech Forum is organising a Fintech Policy Roundtable as a part of Fintegrate Zone 2018 to discuss – What should be India’s Open API Policy to encourage fintech innovation on 1st March, 2018. This Fintech Policy Roundtable would focus on the legal aspects and regulatory steps that are needed to promote open API policy in India.
