The Treasury welcomes the Competition and Market Authority’s (CMA’s) remedies on Open Banking, which has the potential to bring significant benefits to consumers and SMEs by promoting competition in the retail banking sector.

Responsibility for assessing and monitoring the progress on implementation rests with the independent CMA.

As set out by the CMA, the element of Open Banking dealing with non-personal information must be delivered by 13 March 2017, with the delivery of the full scope by January 2018.
