Open Banking is not just a passing phase - it is set to permeate all areas of finance. It has come about through a combination of technology advancements, which have created new ways of transacting, storing and sharing data, as well as new regulatory measures to increase competition and empower the consumer by utilising their own data, triggered in no small part by the global financial crisis.

So far, Open Banking services have focused on the consumer retail market, with corporate solutions lagging behind somewhat due to the added complexity large multinationals bring, as well as accessibility issues smaller businesses have in tapping into the system.
