Next Steps to Secure Open Banking Beyond Regulatory Compliance
Final rules from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau further the march towards open banking. What will it take to keep such data sharing secure?
The concept of open banking, the ability for customers to share their financial information easily with third parties, is gaining momentum in the United States though in a piecemeal way.

Open banking already has footing in Europe. Meanwhile countries such as Canada, Japan, and Singapore have yet to formally adopt it, though their policymakers are exploring open banking frameworks.
