Open Banking will give you greater control and visibility of your banking information, allowing you to easily and securely share it with trusted and accredited third parties.

What is Open Banking?

In 2019, the Australian Government passed the Consumer Data Right (CDR) legislation, which is often referred to by the banking industry as Open Banking.

Open Banking aims to provide greater choice and control for Australians over how their data is used and disclosed. It will allow consumers to access particular information in a usable form and to direct a business to securely transfer that information to an accredited recipient.

For example, it will make it easier for you to monitor your finances, utilities and other services, and compare and switch between different offerings. The system also aims to encourage innovation and competition between service providers, helping you to access products and services that better suit your specific needs.
