Open banking, the concept that would allow customers to share data held by their banks with third parties, such as other financial institutions or fintech companies in order to combine it with data from other sources to yield new benefits to those customers, is gaining traction around the world. But are Canadian FIs ready for it? Explore the concept and the compliance implications:
