Bud included in open banking intermediaries evaluation by independent research firm

Since the last Forrester report in spring 2021, a lot has changed. The rush to comply with regulation in the UK has subsided, and the appetite for open banking in the US has grown.

Open banking is no longer seen as something used to fulfill a single use case, but it is recognized as having the potential to add value throughout the consumer lifecycle. It can unlock financial opportunities and resilience for end users – especially important as the interest rates and the costs of living continue to rise. And for financial institutions, intelligent use of transactional data can drive efficiencies, reduce risk and fuel innovation.

Recognizing this shift by financial institutions toward a more customer-centric focus, a key priority at Bud is to maximize the benefit of the Bud platform as a whole, and not just the individual products we provide. We believe that our AI and data intelligence capabilities make Bud a great choice for forward-thinking organizations that wish to take open banking beyond transaction enrichment alone.

The diversity of our client base reflects the limitless opportunities that our data intelligence platform can unleash. From fintechs to credit bureaus and tier 1 banks – our platform gives our partners the transformative ability to turn transactional data into rich customer insight.

Adoption of and interest in open banking is growing among consumers. We’re proud to be part of an ecosystem that empowers people to get the best out of their data and to be included in Forrester's evaluation of this evolving space.
