Formerly head of @EQBank and CIO @ArterraCanada. Lapsed banker & mainframe developer. Tweets are mine not theirs, blah blah etc.

Yet another handle change for this work Twix account. Making it industry-specific was bad design, I guess.

This is why I am so concerned that @FinanceCanada prioritize the implementation of #OpenBanking. The folks that are harmed most by delays are those who are not well served by our banking system as it stands today... and innovators like #Borrowell that are trying to help them.

@AmritaGurney Needless to say this was a big 5 bank, not my @EQBank card. :) So I agree: bananas.

[Dan Dickinson @DanWorksInTech]

@AmritaGurney I saw a fraudulent transaction on my card & disputed it. I then got 3 letters from my bank: one saying they were looking into the wrong txn; one a week later that the investigation was complete & they'd reimburse me; one 2 weeks later saying they were starting the investigation.

Every 🇬🇧 pub has the same sign behind the bar… “Free Beer Tomorrow”. Where do we hang the sign “Functional RTR Tomorrow”?

Want change? Governance in the financial sector needs to become entirely independent from the organizations that dominate the sector.

@colindeacon One more well-placed yellow square and you'd have yourself a pretty good visual representation of the big banks' response to Open Banking efforts.

@KHBanking In Canada? Modern.

@VassB I could not love this poll more.

[Dan Dickinson @DanWorksInTech]

@mathewi Oh yeah, that was a blast. I was there with @colinrhenderson and @modernmod.

[Vass Bednar @VassB]

I love to get admonished by the Financial Post. 🗞️

[Dan Dickinson @DanWorksInTech]

@AmritaGurney I never thought I'd say this, but...I can't wait to make chicken soup.

@HannaFZaidi Congratulations Hanna!

@barbmaclean @psb_dc @tammybangs @ChrisGGarrod @stessacohen @data_nerd @WIRED Oh, fun article -- thanks! I have to admit, it would be quite a thing if I could get all the records from all our vineyards & wineries (and all the knowledge from our viticulture team & winemakers' heads) and get it into a model.

[Dan Dickinson @DanWorksInTech]

@HannaFZaidi @ElevateTechCA @Wealthsimple @Symcor_CA @EQBank @Borrowell @RBC @financialpost @StephHughes95 There are few things that make me feel sad to have left the banking/fintech industry, but missing this panel is one of them. Go team sh*t disturbers!! :D

[Dan Dickinson @DanWorksInTech]

@barbmaclean @Gehanam @BPC_SmartVista @FinTech_Futures @dharmeshmistry @davejvwallace @JimMarous Same @barbmaclean. I'm struggling to imagine explaining some of this to my 79-year-old dad (who still works the farm) though! :D

[Dan Dickinson @DanWorksInTech]

@barbmaclean @psb_dc @ChrisGGarrod @stessacohen @FortuneMagazine So much interesting stuff happening in the vineyards and wineries. It's been the steepest (and most interesting) learning curve for me -- bank tech doesn't have to contemplate things like smoke taint or ocean freight!

[Dan Dickinson @DanWorksInTech]

@heylolo I ask myself this every time I'm nearly crushed between a dump truck and the concrete barriers at Cherry Street.

[Dan Dickinson @DanWorksInTech]

@barbmaclean @dionlisle @stessacohen @ivospigel @milanskoric @psb_dc @Clagett I've not had much Croatian wine -- it's hard to find much in ON beyond the occasional unremarkable Grasevina. But I remain hopeful; I'm always on the lookout for new-to-me varietals, a drive amplified by @boozecolumnist's book Godforsaken Grapes. Strong recommend for wine nerds.

Forgot to post this the day of, but this is a few of the BComm class of 1997 reunion attendees admiring the new(ish) Dalhousie @rowebusiness building. We couldn't get over how dry the entrance to the computer lab was.
