Open banking encourages competition among financial service providers, which benefits consumers by driving down costs and improving service quality.

Open banking focuses on the needs of the customer, giving them greater control over their financial data and the ability to share it with other institutions or services as they see fit.

The implementation of open banking requires compliance with various regulations such as GDPR and PSD2, which can be challenging for financial institutions.
