What is Open Banking?
Open Banking will enable you to compare financial services and products across multiple institutions, and allow you to securely share your data, such as transaction and account history with other accredited organisations.
Open Banking is part of the Consumer Data Right (CDR) legislation passed by the Australian Government, which aims to give customers across a number of industries greater access and control over their data.
Benefits of Open Banking
In an open environment, it will be easier for you to compare and switch banks and financial products. Being the owner of your data means you will have control of details related to you and your banking products.
Financial Institutions will also be able to provide you with more personalised services and products based on the information you choose to share.
