What is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and why was there such a fuss about it at the end of May? We look at what the new regulations mean for how your data is processed, why your inbox was flooded with consent emails, and how Starling handles this as a bank. With Starling General Counsel Matthew Newman, Head of Operational Risk Clare Nestor, CIO John Mountain, and your regular host Jason Maude.
In episode 5, we chat about the existing UK and global banking framework and how we connect the back-end code to it. Services such as direct debits, the Current Account Switching Service, and Faster Payments will be familiar to UK banking customers, but how do you approach integrating to their APIs? And what are their APIs like anyway (if they even have them)? We also look at connecting to some of the newer consumer financial services, such as Apple Pay with Starling CIO John Mountain and Program Manager Mariam Ogunbambi, hosted by Jason Maude.
In this episode we discuss the security threats that a cloud-based bank can face. Are they different to the security threats faced by traditional banks, or are the old threats still present? How do we go about tackling these problems in order to make sure that customers’ money is safe? Host Jason Maude is joined by Starling CIO John Mountain and Head of Information Security Simon Waring.
