Collaboration is the key
summary
Aktia Bank opens PSD2 access and treats the shift as an opportunity, not a threat, aiming to win customers with one-on-one partnerships, prioritized integrations and targeted APIs rather than broad accelerators or startup investments. Concrete moves include a developer portal with community manager, Slack channels, attendance at Slush and Fintech Finland, and running focused hackathons; organizational fixes include adopting SAFe program increment practices. Challenges are unclear legislation, limited resources and silos; the bank has 308,000 customers and 45 branches and chooses mature FinTechs requiring fewer resources.
