Due to the success of open banking, it’s likely that we will see the development of open finance in the near future.<\/p>\n

Open Banking: A Success Story<\/h2>\n

Open banking involves granting a third party access to your bank account. With your consent, this third party can access your payment account data and ask your banking provider to make transactions on your behalf.<\/p>\n

The October 2021 Open Banking Impact Report<\/a>\u00a0found that 55% of Open Banking consumers agreed these services had helped them reduce their fees and costs and that 83% were willing to expand their use of these kinds of services.<\/p>\n

On the whole, open banking seems to have been largely successful, and this has now opened the door to expansion into open finance.<\/p>\n

Open Banking to Open Finance<\/h2>\n

Both open banking and open finance operate on the idea that individuals should be in control over who can access and use their financial data.<\/p>\n

Open finance is simply an extension of open banking; it would enable wider sharing of this consumer data to more financial products and services, rather than it being confined to banking. So, rather than this data sharing solely involving things like payments, under open finance, it would also be applied to things like investments, insurances and mortgages.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The FCA\u2019s Definition of Open Finance<\/h2>\n

Encouraged by the success of open banking, the FCA, government, and financial services industry have been considering the potential benefits of open finance\u2026 but what exactly is it?<\/p>\n

\n

[Open finance] is based on the principle that financial services customers own and control both the data they supply and which is created on their behalf. Re-use of this data by other providers would take place in a safe and ethical environment with informed consumer consent. This would mean that a financial services customer who consents to a third party accessing their financial data, could be offered tailored products and services as a result. Access would be provided by that customer\u2019s current financial services provider under a clear framework of consent<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How Might this Work in Practice?<\/h2>\n

Open finance would work on the foundation already established by online banking. It would work in a similar way, through data sharing to third parties, but it would simply cover a wider breadth of circumstances by collaborating across various financial services. According to UK Finance<\/a>, this could potentially, \u201creduce fraud, improve financial wellbeing, widen access to credit, deliver greater choice in payments and help enable reusable digital identities.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s have a look at a few examples of how this may look in practice for its consumers\u2026<\/p>\n

With open banking, consumers can see all of their account balances on one singular dashboard. With open finance, more financial products could be incorporated, so that the consumer could see their ISA, pension, mortgage, investments, and so on, all in one place.<\/p>\n

Open finance also allows for even more personalisation. One example of this is lenders being able to offer mortgages based on the customers\u2019 exact needs. Their service to the consumer would be personally tailored to them as an individual through data analysis of their accounts and finances.<\/p>\n

Whilst open banking allows its users to authorise third parties making payments on their behalf, open finance could go even further, allowing consumers to link automatic transfers between different financial products, such as establishing recurring payments to pay off their mortgage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
