The Australian Payments Council to host Challenge Design Workshop
The Australian Payments Council is inviting organisations with an interest in payments to be part of its Challenge Design Workshop at the Spark Festival Sydney on Friday, 28 October 2016.
The workshop will focus on designing a range of challenges to be used in a hackathon early next year. It will give a range of organisations – large and small – a chance to discuss the wider benefits of making data available.
If you would like to participate in the workshop, register for the event here.
The Hackathon
Next year’s hackathon will demonstrate that sharing data can lead to creation of new customer-facing services.
Using data provided by a number of financial institutions, a retailer, and the payment schemes – this hackathon will help inform the industry’s approach to APIs.
Prizes will be awarded to top teams, as judged by the Council and major FinTech representatives.
