Open banking is about using technology to empower better and more secure relationships between customers and service providers for the banking sector. The idea behind all these innovations remain to offer a better experience to consumers and leverage the choice of integrated systems that are widely available today. The impact of technology in making our lives better and smoother can’t be overemphasized enough. FinTech (an excellent combination of finance and technology) is one such area making the traditional banking system seem redundant with each passing day. Every new technology comes with new risks and uncertainties. However, the open banking platform has the potential to re-write the relationship between the bank and its customers.



A recent report says, The Reserve Bank of India has announced a new set of guidelines for the digital banking and payments ecosystem, which requires regulated entities (REs)—scheduled commercial banks, small finance banks, payments banks and credit-card-issuing NBFCs—to conduct periodic assessment of apps and associated third-party services. REs will also be required to assess cyber-risk parameters like technology stack, operational risk, and data storage. REs will also have to employ trained, in-house resources for managing cyber-risk, and adhering to guidelines on engaging third-party operators, in case of out-sourcing. From conducting source-code checks, vulnerability testing, and penetration testing every six months for payment systems, RE’s will also be required to conduct rigorous third party periodic testing, and also be subject to penal provisions in case of no compliance.
