As we look toward 2026, there is a palpable sense of anticipation within the Canadian Credit Union system. At Caspian One Open Data, we are entering the new year with a clear mission: ensuring that by joining our ecosystem, Canadian Credit Unions are no longer forced to use 2020 technology to solve 2026 problems.

2025 was the year our vision for Open Data gained real-world velocity. We transitioned from conceptualizing ecosystems to operationalizing them, bridging the gap between global discourse in Frankfurt and the practical needs of credit unions in Canada. The future we’ve been discussing is no longer on the horizon; it’s live.

Innovation isn't just for the big banks anymore. For credit unions, getting on board with open data before it's mandated is your golden ticket to a stronger future. Here’s why your credit union should act today.

This executive roundtable is timely as it brings together financial leaders to explore how leveraging interoperability, open APIs, and next-gen platforms can accelerate growth, streamline operations, and ensure compliance. Strategic partnerships with fintechs are key to reducing time-to-market and delivering high-value propositions at scale. 

At the upcoming FDX Global Summit this month, a panel of industry veterans will delve into these questions, offering practical insights and actionable strategies. To give you a sneak peek, we're introducing the experts and asking them a few questions that will certainly inspire you to attend their session.
