With FiDA, the way financial institutions operate will change far beyond regulatory compliance. The regulation impacts operating models, data governance, technology architectures and collaboration within ecosystems. The real challenge isnโt meeting minimum requirements, itโs building scalable, adaptable, value-adding structures that thrive in an open finance environment. Our FiDA whitepaper provides practical insights into: โ adjustments in strategy, governance and IT required for FiDA to work holistically โ how to avoid short term compliance decisions that lead to long term strategic constraints โ where open finance creates real opportunities for differentiation and monetization. For decision makers defining their FiDA roadmap, the white paper offers guidance on how to meaningfully combine regulatory certainty with long term competitiveness. ๐ Read the full FiDA whitepaper here: https://www.capco.com/intelligence/capco-intelligence/fida-primer-for-2026-and-beyond Author: @Torben Pรคtz
