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.
