Open Banking

Open Banking allows you to share your financial data with providers regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and pay directly from your account.

Open Banking explained

What is the purpose of Open Banking?

The aim of Open Banking is to increase competition in the banking industry. It’s an industry-wide change that we’ve implemented with the Competition and Markets Authority and other regulators, banks and registered companies.

What it means for you

You can choose to share your data with registered companies (known as third-party providers or TPPs) to pay in new ways. That means you can see account information from your other banks all in one place and make payments through other apps and websites. Remember, you’re in control and you choose which services you use and which providers you let access your information.

What we’ve done

Since 2018, we’ve launched services using Open Banking designed to make your life easier and to help you make the most of your finances. You can find out more on the Barclays app page.
