Open Banking means a banking technique that uses application programming interfaces to give third-party financial service providers open access to customer banking, transaction, and other financial data from banks and non-bank financial institutions (APIs). Consumers, financial institutions, and third-party service providers will be able to network accounts and data across institutions for usage by consumers, financial institutions, and third-party service providers. Open Banking is poised to transform the banking industry as a key source of innovation.
The concept of Open Banking opens up banking data in a secure way, to help drive innovative new financial products for individuals and businesses. Open Banking promotes interoperability and networking between banking information and service providers, creating a smoother user experience.
