US: CFPB presents new financial data sharing rules in competition boost
A new proposal for U.S. consumers may simplify moving financial data among service providers. The proposal aims to create competition between fintech and traditional bank sectors. CFPB Director Rohit Chopra believes the proposal would enable consumers to switch providers easily. Open banking could promote expansion in payments, investment, lending, financing, and savings industries. The U.S. is lagging behind European countries and Britain in implementing open banking regulations.
