Open Banking Expo Unplugged ranks #3041 on The B2B Podcast Index with a substance score of 63.0 out of 100, scored across 1 recent episode. It scores highest on guest caliber and specificity & evidence. Joris Henson is a genuine 10-year practitioner who built and runs a real API programme at a major bank - credible and relevant - but the appearance is clearly promotional (awards judge, repeat conference speaker for the same organiser), which limits candour and depth.
Averaged across 1 recently scored episode, with cited evidence.
There are occasional substantive points - most notably the argument that structured open finance APIs are superior to PDF or screen-scraping inputs for AI, and the proactive pre-PSD2 launch logic - but large stretches are vague future-gazing and platitudes with no new ideas per minute.
“aren't those structured interfaces not better than customers feeding PDFs files or use screen scraping to feed data into an AI tool?”
“open finance in general is the key to future AI products”
The framing of open finance structured data as the superior substrate for AI is the episode's one genuinely fresh angle, but everything else - fragmentation concerns, 360-degree financial view, hyper-personalisation - is well-worn open banking discourse.
“aren't those structured interfaces not better than customers feeding PDFs files or use screen scraping to feed data into an AI tool?”
“you have couch enabled processes because at least in Germany you have a lot of insurance documents or banking products, uh, filed, you know, as a paper version”
Joris Henson is a genuine 10-year practitioner who built and runs a real API programme at a major bank - credible and relevant - but the appearance is clearly promotional (awards judge, repeat conference speaker for the same organiser), which limits candour and depth.
“last year I celebrated my 10th year in uh, the open banking space”
“we built a nice ecosystem of customers. We have uh, 85 customers right now”
A handful of concrete data points exist - 85 API customers, 2015 launch date, six white papers, TechQuartier named - but there are no revenue figures, named fintech partnerships, product outcomes, or detailed regulatory timelines that would let a listener act on the information.
“we have uh, 85 customers right now”
“we also just released six uh, white papers about the work”
The host asks leading, soft questions throughout, explicitly promotes the organiser's own awards and events, and never challenges a single claim or probes for a harder answer; the result is an extended PR segment rather than an interview.
“do you hope to see uh, once, once FIDA sort of gets over the line, do you hope to see it solving that, that fragmentation pain point”
“Just keen to hear from you about more broadly, um, how at Deutsche bank you're helping to shape and influence”
