Konsentus expands its presence in North Africa and the Middle East

UK-based open ecosystem regtech provider Konsentus has established its MENA regional base in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

With this new regional base, the company aims to provide open data infrastructure and technology services to regulators and financial services providers in Saudi Arabia and its surrounding territories. Konsentus has been working closely with local stakeholders across the region over the last few years in order to facilitate the evaluation and introduction of protected open ecosystems. 

According to the company press release, in order to be able to introduce open data exchange in any MENA country, entities should first implement a secure platform comprising the control and governance of in-country policy and rules. This platform would then ensure that data providers and data recipients could interact with each other in a seamless fashion. 

In this case, the Konsentus Open Trust Platform (OTP) was designed to allow countries to implement safe and secure open ecosystems in a quick and easy way by leveraging end-to-end rules, processes, technology, and tools. Konsentus officials have stated in the company press release that there is a great opportunity to expand the company’s services in the MENA region, particularly in the context of the region’s current digital transformation efforts.
