How will Open Banking make your life easier?

Open Banking is the first element of the Australian Government‘s Consumer Data Right (CDR) legislation. CDR is envisaged to become an economy-wide system which will ensure the safe and secure transfer of consumer data.

The goal of Open Banking is to provide you with greater choice and control over how your data is used and disclosed. It will allow you to access particular information in a usable form and to direct a business to securely transfer that information to an accredited data recipient.

Your data will only be made available through Open Banking if you opt-in to provide information to an accredited third party, so the decision on whether your data is made available or not is entirely yours. You can also change your mind and revoke your consent at anytime.

The security of your banking data is of the highest importance to Queensland Country.  Our privacy safeguards will ensure that you are in control of which companies access your data and how they use it. Open Banking will only allow access to your data if you give permission for an accredited data recipient to receive it.

Third parties providing services via Open Banking must be accredited by the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC) and comply with all privacy and security requirements.
