Since its launch in 2018 with 21 founding members, FDX experienced an eightfold increase in members. The growing membership is also reflected in the rapid adoption of the FDX API, as data providers, such as financial institutions, data access platforms, like financial data aggregators, and data recipients such as fintech apps, are collectively transitioning to the standard.
FDX represents an industry-wide movement to enhance consumer and business control of financial data, through its FDX API and technical standards that prioritize the group’s Five Core Principles of Financial Data Sharing – Control, Access, Transparency, Traceability and Security.
“The movement toward Open Finance is happening now, and we are excited to see the financial services market uniting around common, secure, interoperable and consumer-centric API technical standards through FDX,” said Don Cardinal, Managing Director of the Financial Data Exchange.
