UST Global was proud to be associated with the Hackathon and sent a five member team.

Barclays has been fully committed to the recommendations of the Open Banking Working Group (OBWG) since it convened in 2015 at the request of HM Treasury to explore how data could help people to save, borrow, lend and invest their money in better ways. This hackathon is just one of the many programs that Barclays has launched in this regard.

Speaking about the potential of the Barclays hackathon project, Peter Josse Barclays UK Chief Information Officer said: "With more consumers engaging in digital banking, it's vital that the industry works to develop new solutions that streamline the experience and save time in their busy lives. This hackathon will help us to consider how we can use the emerging OBWG services to support our customers and communities"
