The document summarizes the progress of Open Banking in the UK, which was established to increase competition in retail banking in response to a 2016 report. It formed an implementation entity (OBIE) to define open standards and processes for securely sharing customer information with third parties to create new services. Key milestones included the launch of Open Data in 2017 and the managed rollout of account information and payment initiation aligned with PSD2 regulations beginning in 2018. Future plans include implementing additional PSD2 and CMA Order requirements as well as ongoing governance and standards development.
