Open Banking

What is Open Banking

In 2018 the Australian Government passed a legislation called the Consumer Data Right (CDR). CDR is also referred to as Open Banking and gives Australians greater control over their data, providing customers and small businesses a choice about how their financial data is shared with third parties. Open Banking will encourage competition between service providers, leading to better prices for customers and more innovative products and services.
