UK Updates On New Open Banking Entity

Recently, the UK authorities have announced an update on plans for a successor to the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE).

With Open Banking thoroughly set up, the OBIE presently directed by the CMA will be progressed to a new entity in the upcoming year and this will be monitored by the new Joint Regulatory Oversight Committee, which was created earlier this year by the CMA along with HM Treasury, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Payment Systems Regulator.
