Open Banking opportunities for kiwi innovators

Interview
Written By Vic MacLennan

What if paying someone was as easy as sending a message? That’s the big idea behind Volley, a rising Kiwi fintech startup aiming to transform the way we think about money movement in Aotearoa.

In this Lunch and Learn, I sat down with co-founder Jack Callister for a wide-ranging and insightful kōrero. We talked about everything from the technical underpinnings of open banking to the practical opportunities it creates for startups, businesses, and everyday users. Jack also shared some valuable advice for anyone considering taking the leap into building a business—including the one thing he’d do differently if he started again.

If you’re curious about open banking, thinking about launching something new, or simply interested in the future of digital payments in New Zealand, this session is full of thoughtful insights and real-world takeaways.
