Speaker - Alex Spanos
Summary - Open Banking is going through an exponential growth phase. New financial applications and services are increasingly using Open Banking APIs to help more than 3 million users, for example, manage their finances, access credit and make payments. At TrueLayer we have been building data and payment API products in the UK since Open Banking was introduced. Having enjoyed significant growth over the past couple of years, it is now time for our next step: to build intelligent API products backed by Data Science at a global scale. Join me in this talk to learn how we built our new cross-market transaction classification and merchant identification service, and hear some war stories about MLOps and being the first Data Scientist at an engineering-focussed startup.
