Copyright © 2017 Diana Milanesi Abstract Open Banking is an evolution of banking that focuses on how banks share their data, products/services, and functionality, and how they enable consumers to share their financial data, account information, and functionality for access and use by authorized third parties. This evolution is expected to increase transparency, promote competition, and foster innovation in the banking and financial services industry. These positive outcomes, in turn, will help empower consumers and businesses by giving them greater control over their data and finances. The evolution prompted by Open Banking goes far beyond technology. Open Banking represents a defining moment at which banks are forced to re-think their role and the approach they take to their business. Open Banking focuses on the way banks innovate through partnerships and collaborations with various participants within and outside the financial and banking services industry. It is about the way banks and third parties (co)-create the value and flexibility that speaks to the real-world needs of consumers and businesses by making their financial data and account information more available and widely shared than ever before. At present, a number of interconnected forces are driving the movement towards Open Banking. These forces include a substantial demographic shift, evolving costumer preferences and expectations, technology advances, and increased competition by new entrants such as fintech companies and large tech giants. Alongside the described forces, legislative and regulatory reforms in Europe and the United Kingdom are acting both as a catalyst for change and an accelerator of openness in the financial and banking services industry. In parallel to these reforms, governmental authorities and regulators in the United States are starting testing the waters in Open Banking by gathering more information about current practices and potential market developments and improving their engagement with various industry participants and consumer representative groups. Regulators have certainly an important and constructive role to play in creating and promoting the openness needed for a new paradigm of banking to flourish. In determining whether, and to what extent, to take regulatory actions with respect to Open Banking and consumer-permissioned access to consumer financial data and account information, regulators should be mindful of the global nature of the issues at stake. In fact, overly prescriptive rules regarding access to consumer data will have the negative effects of: depriving consumers of innovative products and services which could help them (re)-gain control over their finances and materially improve their financial health; placing companies subject to any such rules at a significant disadvantage vis-à-vis their competitors in other jurisdictions; creating a fractured regulatory framework to the extent any such rule diverges substantially from international access standards or conventions; and stifling innovation by precluding fintech companies and other new entrants from accessing consumer data and/or scaling internationally. Furthermore, any regulatory action aiming at promoting Open Banking and facilitating consumer-permissioned access to consumer financial data and account information should coordinate with ongoing industry initiatives and should be subject to public comments to ensure that a measured and effective approach is developed to the benefit of all interested parties. In addition to enabling consumers to access and share their financial records with trusted third parties without undue restrictions, Open Banking-related regulatory reforms should also provide for the establishment and enforcement of adequate safeguards. This is important because the value of Open Banking can only be realized when openness is nurtured and delivered in a responsible manner, which: maintains the trust critical to the functioning of the banking and the financial system; promotes transparency, privacy, and security in the use and disclosure of consumer financial data and account information by consumers who can control how to start, manage, and terminate access thereof; and ensures the continue safety and soundness of the banking and financial system as a whole. There are real tensions around many of the issues discussed above. Nevertheless, there

  • Fintech Market Enters a New Stage of Maturity Fintech Is Gearing Up, Shifting Away from the Start-Up World to Mature Big Ticket Transactions
    FINTECH FOCUS EUROPEAN TRENDS Fintech market enters a new stage of maturity Fintech is gearing up, shifting away from the start-up world to mature big ticket transactions. Richard Woods, Clive Cunningham and Wendy Saunders of Herbert Smith Freehills review macro-developments in Europe intech refers to the many ways in which businesses are using technology to change and improve the provision of financial Fservices. There are many ways in which regulators are reacting to and supporting the continued growth of fintech, and how ambitious businesses are adapting to that regulatory landscape. We see 2020 as being a year of consolidation as much as transformation, both in terms of firms’ reaction to the regulatory environment, and in terms of transactional activity. In the last two years, a number of fundamental regulatory developments took effect in the region and these are now an established part of the regulatory framework. In particular, the second Payment Services Directive (PSD2 – January 2018), Mifid II (January 2018) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – May 2018) established a new architecture in which fintech businesses must operate. Although the next phase of regulation is never far away (the www.herbertsmithfreehills.com Fifth Money Laundering Directive very recently took effect on January 10 2020) in 2020 fintechs will, for a while, have an opportunity to work within a relatively well-established regulatory framework. 2020 may well be the year in which open banking becomes more widely adopted. Open banking allows customers to authorise their banks to share their financial data with third party providers. It is designed to increase competition and innovation in favour of consumers.
