Open Finance is the concept and practice of sharing financial data securely with third-party service providers through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).[1] It builds upon Open Banking principles, aiming to broaden access to financial data beyond traditional banking products and services. This initiative emphasises consumer control over financial data, allowing secure sharing to obtain personalized services, better deals, and innovative financial solutions.
In comparison to Open Banking, Open Finance encompasses a wider range of financial products and services, including banking, investments, pensions, mortgages, loans, cryptocurrency and vehicle valuations.[2]
