The future is now
Commit to Open Banking
How would it impact your business if it couldn’t connect to the major banks? Recent events have reduced the availability of access to banking data via web connectors, putting at risk businesses relying on this data to service their customers.
Read more about the changes and how to future-proof your business via Open Banking below.

As an industry we often talk about Open Banking as a future state; ‘it’s coming’, ‘when it matures’… but the future is here and now… As an industry we are playing with fire, hoping changes to data access won’t affect us, but the reality is it’s already happening and we need to move on.

Data access methods are changing

Major Australian banks are committed to Open Banking as the optimal way for customers to share their financial data.

It’s becoming more difficult to access customer banking data via web connectors as banks increase security to protect their customers.

Increased fraudulent activity has made consumers more vigilant about sharing their data than ever before.

Comparing Open Banking
and web connectors
Open Banking and web connectors are different connectivity methods for accessing financial data.
Implemented as part of the Government’s roll out of the Consumer Data Right (CDR) program, Open Banking ultimately provides a better experience for businesses and consumers, enabling innovation and development of new financial products and services.
