BIBF and Strathclyde

Spire Co-Founders Syed Aqdas Ahmad and Aamir Janjua were recently invited to give a talk on Open Banking during the "Mastering Evolving Digital Technologies" (MEDT) module, part of the Masters of Fintech program at the Strathclyde Business School, in collaboration with Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF).

Insights from the Bahraini landscape to the wider regional and global context were shared, which resonated strongly with the attendees, including professionals from leading financial institutions across Bahrain and KSA.

It was very enlightening to engage with the bright minds of the 2024 Cohorts and a fantastic opportunity to discuss real-world challenges, market trends, and the future of Open Banking - a technology that drives innovation, competition, and better financial choices for consumers.

The session was filled with engaging interactions and left us all excited about the future of Open Banking.

Wishing the 2024 Cohort an enriching and fulfilling journey!
