Open Banking Advent Calendar 2025
December 1st: Simplifying Payments with Open Banking
The countdown begins! For the very first door of our 2025 Advent Calendar, we’re joined by Chris Crespo, Chief Editor at Nordic Fintech magazine. Chris reflects on 2025 as a remarkable year for frictionless payments and customer experiences.
In this short video, he shares how “Pay by Bank,” powered by open banking, has transformed online shopping, whether it’s airline tickets, clothes, or everyday essentials. No more long credit card numbers, expiry dates, or CVR codes (CVC in other regions), just a single click, instant authentication, and payment completed.
Chris’s message is clear: retailers, this is the kind of seamless experience we want more of in 2026! Cosy up, press play, and get inspired by the simple yet transformative power of open banking.
