👏 We applaud the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for delivering a rule making that codifies the promise of Open Banking. Consumer financial health has been put front and center, with consumers able to access and share their financial data in pursuit of the most competitive products and services. Method appreciates the CFPB's efforts to ensure that all consumers be able to access the benefits of Open Banking and to provide a clear standard for all financial institutions and data aggregators in the industry. #OpenBanking #Fintech #FinancialInclusion #ConsumerRights #CFPB #Section1033
A historic day for U.S. consumers and open finance! Today, FDATA North America celebrates the CFPB's final rule implementing Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Act, granting millions of Americans a legally binding right to access and share their financial data. This rule empowers consumers to take control of their financial lives, choose providers that best meet their needs, and drive a more transparent, competitive, and consumer-focused financial services marketplace. FDATA's Executive Director, Steve Boms, applauds this critical step, and we look forward to working with the CFPB to expand this framework to include additional accounts over time. 📢 Important Note: We urge the CFPB to include Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) data in future rules, ensuring the benefits of open finance reach lower-income households. Read more from industry leaders like Betterment, Morningstar Wealth Platform, Prism Data, Plaid, MX, Method, and Trustly on this transformational milestone in our full statement here: https://lnkd.in/eiP3fzXS #OpenBanking #Fintech #FinancialInclusion #ConsumerRights #CFPB #Section1033 #FDATANA

Every year, consumers submit over 70 million loan and credit applications through non-digital channels, equating to roughly $1.64 trillion in originated balances and credit limits. These borrowers should benefit from the streamlined applications and more competitive products enabled by Open Banking. Read to learn how authentication based on PII, not credentials, makes accessible the benefits of Open Banking for all.
Open banking is only as useful as the number of consumers who can benefit from it. Kudos to Mit Shah for this thoughtful piece in today's BAI newsletter highlighting the importance of making open banking work for consumers who choose non-digital channels to conduct their financial services.

🌟 "Open Banking is a promise, but that promise can only be realized if the approved authentication standard is accessible to all." - Phil Chang, Method General Counsel 🏛️ Last week, Method participated in a Consumer Authentication Panel on Capitol Hill alongside Consumer Reports' Delicia Reynolds Hand, Independent Bankers Association of Texas' Bill Briggs, and Allon Advocacy, LLC's Steve Boms. Participants emphasized that the 35M American households who lack digital banking credentials, as well the 70M+ Americans who apply for loans or credit in person each year, require an inclusive authentication standard to benefit from Open Banking. Read here how PII-based authentication can support in-person applicants. 👇 https://lnkd.in/ePbNKAK9
