Open Banking

     Open banking is a system that allows sharing of financial information between different financial institutions through application programming interfaces (APIs).

      It allows customers to give third-party providers access to their financial data, enabling those providers to develop new products and services.

Customer Control and Consent:

     The customer retains control over their financial data and can consent to third-party providers accessing their data.
