We’re happy to share that obconnect, in partnership with Raidiam, has been awarded Best Anti-Fraud Solution at the Open Banking Expo Awards 2025.
The award recognises the success of our real-time, API-driven Confirmation of Payee (CoP) solution – purpose-built to detect, prevent and respond to fraud without compromising user experience.
By combining obconnect’s Open Banking infrastructure with Raidiam’s trust framework, we’ve created a secure, scalable model that now protects more than 95% of consumer bank accounts in New Zealand, with growing international interest.
The judging panel described our work as:
“An excellent example of Open Banking infrastructure used directly for fraud prevention. It balances security with UX impressively and on a national scale, demonstrating innovation in both execution and governance.”
This recognition reaffirms our commitment to building future-ready, fraud-resilient ecosystems – setting a new global benchmark for safety, speed and innovation in Open Banking.
We’re proud to work alongside forward-thinking partners like Raidiam, and incredibly grateful to the obconnect team for their expertise, collaboration and ongoing dedication to making Open Banking more secure for all.
