About This Episode
This week we speak with Fliss Berridge, co-founder at Ordo - a UK fintech offering fully managed and white labelled open banking enabled payments services.
The company was founded by the former management team of the UK’s Faster Payments Scheme back in 2018 with a mission to use open banking payments to provide businesses with an alternative to card payments and direct bank payments.
In our conversation we discuss the latest developments in UK Open Banking, focusing on recent announcements by the JROC - Joint Regulatory Oversights Committee - on both commercial VRP-enabled services - that is Variable Recurring Payments, and the future Open Banking entity.
Some amazing insights here to bring you right up to date with UK Open Banking.
And before we dive into the conversation, I just would like to add that this is actually the last EDC podcast that I will be hosting. I will be moving on and handing you over to the rest of the EDC team for the next episode. So with that out of the way, let's get straight into the conversation with Fliss Berridge from Ordopay.
