The Australian lender said that the cloud-based platform will facilitate data flow between consumers, data holders, data recipients and open banking collaborators as well as watchdogs.

Heritage Bank CEO Peter Lock said: “We’re looking forward to working with EY on our Open Banking solution. They have unrivalled capabilities in this area and will help us deliver a first-class solution.

“We want to reinforce to our members that our approach will keep their data secure and under their control. Tapping into EY’s extensive local and global knowledge in this space will be crucial in ensuring our solution is not only secure but also easy to use.”

In Australia’s open banking regime, Consumer Data Right (CDR) regulations give consumers greater access and control over their financial data and allow them to share it safely with trusted parties.
