The Inquiry into Future Directions for the Consumer Data Right (the Inquiry) has released an Issues Paper for consultation. Background.
A key focus will be how the Consumer Data Right could be expanded beyond the current ‘read’ access to include ‘write’ access.
This could enable customers to direct third parties to apply for and manage products and services on their behalf – including, for Open Banking, by making payments and changing accounts – through application programming interfaces (APIs).
The Inquiry will consider potential benefits of, and barriers to, implementing write access, including regulatory compliance costs.
The Inquiry will focus on the future purpose, use and vision for the Consumer Data Right, rather than its current implementation or the sectors to which it should be next applied.
