The benefits of Open Banking

Enhance data accessibility

Open Banking mandates banks to open up access to customer financial data (with customer consent) to third-party providers. This shift creates a landscape where data is more freely accessible, allowing for innovative financial services and applications.

Build personalized financial services

The availability of rich, customer-centric data enables third-party providers and financial institutions to tailor services. This can lead to more personalized banking experiences, better financial advice, and customized product offerings.

Gain a competitive advantage

The commercialization of Open Banking enables lending, credit assessment, payment capability, reconciliation, and more. The data-driven landscape fosters innovation as established banks and new entrants can develop novel products and services.
