Canadian group applies to become SSO for CFPB’s open-banking push

The Canadian Digital Governance Council has become the second entity to apply with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to become a recognized standard-setting organization to facilitate data sharing under Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Act.

The Financial Data Exchange submitted its application in September.

The CFBP, which issued its open-banking rule earlier this week, has stated that implementing Section 1033 will “accelerate a shift toward open banking, where consumers would have control over data about their financial lives and would gain new protections against companies misusing their data.”

The bureau has created a process for companies to apply to gain SSO status for that push.

Comments on the FDX application are due Nov. 18.
