What is the Consumer Data Right (CDR)?
The Australian Government has developed a series of data standards that help you to access information about your financial products. These standards form part of the Consumer Data Right designed to allow consumers greater control over their data.
CDR provides Australian consumers with more control over how their data is used and disclosed and their privacy. It will improve consumers’ ability to compare and switch between products and services, encourage competition between service providers, drive the development of more innovative products and services, and reduce prices. You can read more about these changes at Consumer Data Standards Australia.
Open Banking is the first sector of the Consumer Data Right (CDR). Open Banking will give you the ability to consent to sharing your banking data with trusted third parties that have been accredited by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Under the Open Banking framework, you will be able to control which third party can access your data.
What do I need to know about Open Banking and the Consumer Data Right (CDR)?
-
Open Banking will make data on banking products more accessible and comparable, allowing you to easily see if you are using the best product for your needs.
-
Any party that you consent to receiving your data has to be accredited by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to be able to access data. To find out who is accredited by the ACCC to receive data through open banking, visit ACCC website.

Additional safeguards have been developed to enhance and ensure your privacy in the use of Open Banking. More information about these are available on the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner website.
