  Mexico has joined an elite group of nations, being amongst the first to pass open banking regulations. Specifically designed to open up its financial services and technology sector, the so-called ‘Fintech Law’ appears to have taken notes from PSD2, UK Open Banking, Singapore’s ‘organic’ approach, and others – and balances these against Mexico’s unique context and aims.

If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” And with this advice in mind, I want to share my thoughts on the ‘Big 3’ of 2018 so far… and prep us all on what to look for as the calendar churns through its last six pages.
