10、e refers to the portability of data,within and across financial services,with the consumer in charge of their own data.New solutions could incorporate real time financing embedded at the point of sale,democratise financial advice,streamline lending and offer more holistic money management.This means
11、 the consumer will be able to manage their finances more effectively by obtaining financial advice currently restricted to those that can pay.This would benefit near term cost of living challenges and long term consumer savings.An Open Finance economy would also drive productivity benefits for milli
12、ons of small businesses across the country.The use case potential for Open Finance is vast.Report by CFIT stated that delivering Open Finance and personal data mobility could boost UK GDP by 30.5bn a year2.Smart data will drive the next generation of innovation,creating huge value for society and th
13、e economy through interoperable,portable,quality data.Within a secure and trusted framework,and in combination with Artificial Intelligence,tokenised assets and smart contracts,this will drive a range of macroeconomic objectives for UK PLC:Small business productivity gains,with more efficient reconc
14、iliation,real time financing and streamlined payments.Holistic financial management for consumers,improving financial literacy,democratising financial advice supporting long term financial resilience of all citizens.FinTech investment and growth,aligned to key government priority areas.Promoting Fin
15、ancial inclusion through tailored financial management and improved access to credit Opportunity for the UK to continue our global leadership in real time payments and Open Banking innovation.We already see other countries working towards a smart data economy transition:Australia introduced the Cons
16、umer Data Rights legislation as a step towards Open Finance;the European Commission has proposed a new Open Finance framework;Brazil has extended Open Banking to all financial services;and Singapore has invested in the worlds first public digital infrastructure,allowing secure data sharing between g
17、overnment agencies and financial institutions.The global trend towards Open Finance is clear,and it is crucial that the UK takes the right steps now in order to set up for future success.The UK is globally recognised as a leader in this space the first country to introduce Open Banking and supportin
18、g a thriving FinTech sector.In 2023,UK FinTech received more than$5bn of investment3 more than the next 28 countries in Europe combined.However,a clear strategy and deliberate action is required for the UK to continue along this journey and set up for success as we navigate from Open Banking to a ri
19、cher Open Finance enabled economy.Open Finance spans more than just Open Banking,or smart data it is a holistic,dynamic,and multi-faceted opportunity,that requires equally holistic,pan-industry response to maximise its potential.A successful rollout therefore requires close collaboration between key
20、 stakeholders across public and private sectors:government,regulators and industry players.Innovate Finance recently published its General Election FinTech Manifesto,calling on the next government to focus on three key areas towards achieving this vision.These areas have been identified as enablers
21、for the UK to lead the next wave of FinTech innovation and solidify the country as the best place in the world to start,scale and build a FinTech.To build the worlds first smart data economy,Innovate Finance called for a 5-year roadmap of extending Open Banking to Open Finance-with open data in all
22、financial sectors by 2030,including credit,savings,mortgages and insurance and investments;enabling citizens to have a complete picture of their personal balance sheet in one place.The Centre for Finance,Innovation and Technology(CFIT)has also called for task force to develop a roadmap for Open Fina
23、nce4.1.Build the worlds first smart data economy.2.Make the UK the most secure place in the world for consumers and businesses to use digital finance.3.Make the UK the world leader in adopting new technology in finance.This paper aims to set out what is required to achieve an Open Finance economy,an
24、d the path to get us there.There are multiple initiatives underway across payments,smart data,and digital identity;and we have identified a number of additional building blocks required to set the UK up for success.The multi-faceted nature of Open Finance inevitably means there are multiple paths fo
25、rward to realise this vision.In this paper we set forward three different paths to achieving an Open Finance economy,focusing on the outcomes-based principles required to deliver tangible market action.4The Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK-KPMG&Innovate FinanceCurrent state of play the Open Finance
26、 building blocks already underwayThere are multiple initiatives already underway across the market that provide a foundation for Open Finance.Ensuring that these initiatives are fully realised,with the appropriate guardrails and design of future extensibility,is a critical requirement for success.01
27、Open BankingThe UK led the world into Open Banking and is recognised as a global leader.As of January 2024,there are now over 9 million active users of Open Banking in the UK with volumes and adoption growing year on year amongst both consumers and businesses5.Ecospend,a payment initiation services
28、provider,reported that in January 2024 alone 3.3bn of tax self-assessment payments were made to HMRC via Open Banking6.Meanwhile the availability of services continues to expand with services focusing on payments,borrowing and financial decision making.Nonetheless,challenges remain around governance
29、,commercial incentives,consumer protection and consistency in technical implementation.To tackle these hurdles and promote the ongoing adoption of Open Banking,the Joint Regulatory Oversight Committee(JROC)published a roadmap for the next phase of UK banking last year7.The industry is now working th
30、rough the 29 activities,on the five key themes-levelling up availability and performance,mitigating the risk of financial crime,ensuring effective consumer protection,improving information flow to regulated Third Party Providers(TPPs)and end users,promoting additional products and services as well a
31、s finalising the design of the future entity.As implementation of these complex roadmap activities progress,a positive sign has been active engagement across the industry towards a premium(Application Programming Interface)API framework for broader data and variable recurring payments use cases.A fu
32、nctional,scalable,and resilient Open Banking infrastructure is a critical foundation for Open Finance,and this evolution must continue as a priority.02The Data Protection&Digital Information BillAs part of the governments commitment to an economy where consumers own data works for them,and innovativ
33、e businesses thrive,the Data Protection and Digital Information(DPDI)bill is currently being considered by Parliament8.DPDI provisions consist of 3 pillars of data security and innovation.The Data Protection&Digital Information BillData ProtectionUpdating and simplifying the current legislation to r

35、al transationsSmart DataUnlocking benefits of Open Banking in other sectors and enabling a cross-sector secure data sharingThe bill will provide the legal powers for ministers to introduce smart data schemes in different industries,enabling Open Finance to be introduced across industries beyond Open
36、 Banking and the current Competition and Markets Authority requirements(the CMA Order).In addition,it will provide the legal basis for digital ID schemes that could support Open Finance applications.The bill is expected to be passed by summer 2024.5The Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK-KPMG&Innovate
37、 Finance03Smart Data CouncilThe Smart Data Council has been set up by the Department for Business and Trade to advise on leading,developing,and co-ordinating new and innovative schemes that utilise the power of Smart Data.The Council features representatives from Citizens Advice,Innovate Finance,Ope
38、n Banking Limited,CFIT and other stakeholders to drive forward open data standards and use cases.It is helping Government develop a roadmap for smart data,and identifying the cross-cutting standards,infrastructure needed to support industry schemes and a framework for interoperability and consistenc
39、y across various Smart Data initiatives.04Centre for Finance,Innovation and Technology(CFIT)CFIT was established to unblock barriers to growth for financial technology and promote the UKs financial innovation leadership.The CFIT Open Finance coalition brings together stakeholders from across the eco
40、system to support the delivery of Open Finance by developing solutions to main challenges and unlocking priority use cases.The coalitions report on Embracing the UKs Open Finance Opportunity outlines how enhanced data-sharing can support democratisation of financial advice to consumers as well as SM
41、E credit access9.This sets out a number of Proof of Concept models for Open Finance services,including SME credit and a Citizens Advice financial diagnostic,which could now provide the basis for FinTech to build prototypes.These prototypes will show how the industry can design new Open Finance produ
42、cts and services that make use of the available datasets.05ISO 20022 Messaging Standard ISO 20022 is an open international messaging standard that facilitates exchange of enhanced data in a richer,more structured format.ISO 20022 has the potential to create a single common language for most payments
43、 globally,enabling global interconnectedness of Open Banking payments and financial services.With 70+countries having already adopted ISO 20022,it harmonises the language for payments internationally10.As the Bank of England(BoE)is progressing with the implementation of the standard within CHAPS(the
44、 payment system for high value payments)and RTGS(the Real Time Gross Settlement that settles funds between banks and other financial institutions),sending of enhanced data remains optional,with certain elements gradually being mandated.ISO 20022 provides the foundation to propel Open Finance service
45、s and innovation,as many of the potential use cases leverage flexibility of standards,functionality of enriched data and straight-through processing.Implementation of ISO 20022 enables Open Finance use cases such as personalised offerings based on transaction analytics.Its straight-through processin
46、g translates into fewer manual interventions leading to lower probability of delays for the end customer.This unlocks product innovation such as developing a dashboard with a real-time view on customers financial position.As the extent to which benefits are realised depends on the industry using the
47、 data in a consistent manner,the BoE,with the industry support,is compiling guidance for specific use-cases of the standard to support coherent adoption.06National Payments VisionIn November 2023,the Future of Payments Review was published as part of the 2023 Autumn Statement11.Commissioned by HM Tr
48、easury and led by Joe Garner.The Review provides several recommendations on the next steps for the UK to successfully deliver a world leading retail payments ecosystem.The Reviews key finding was that the UKs payments landscape is congested and would benefit from a clear overall strategy.The governm
49、ent is committed to maintaining the UKs reputation for a world-leading payments ecosystem,and so has accepted the recommendation to publish a National Payments Vision this year.Open Banking will play a major role in the National Payments Vision,building important foundations for the UK ecosystem to
50、grow into Open Finance.Enabling an environment for Open Banking payments to thrive will foster competition,add rich functionality,and benefit the customer experience,particularly for peer-to-peer(P2P)and retail payments.The report calls for the introduction of consumer purchase protections on Open B
51、anking transactions and a sustainable commercial model that incentivises engagement,quality,and innovation across the market.The Review also called for action around regulatory simplicity,fraud mitigation,enhancements to digital customer experiences and streamlining the barriers to entry for FinTech
52、s all additional building blocks to support the trajectory of Open Finance in a flourishing UK payments ecosystem.07Project PerseusProject Perseus is a project run by Bankers for Net Zero Icebreaker One and supported by a powerful coalition of banks,FinTechs,trade associations,accountancy bodies,and
53、 small business associations12.It aims to transform data sharing and sustainability practices for SMEs by taking smart meter energy data to create and automate rapidly scalable,low effort,low cost,low friction sustainability and emissions reporting.Successful implementation will enable banks and len
54、ders to assess the carbon emissions of their lending portfolio.Additionally,it will be possible to identify and track the biggest opportunities for emissions savings amongst small firms unlocking transition finance for the green economy.6The Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK-KPMG&Innovate Finance08P
55、ensions DashboardThe UK Pensions Dashboard will facilitate easier access to pension information for individuals across the United Kingdom.This programme,led by the Money and Pensions Service(MaPS)seeks to aggregate pension data from various sources,including private and state pension providers,into
56、a single digital platform accessible to individual users.The Dashboards will provide users with secure,clear,and simple information about an individuals multiple pension savings.By consolidating pension information,the programme aims to empower individuals by providing them with a comprehensive view
57、 of their savings,enabling better financial planning and decision making.It is intended that most pension schemes and providers will connect to the dashboard by October 2026,with a first cohort in April 202513.There is growing interest and debate surrounding the potential expansion of the Pensions D
58、ashboard Programme to incorporate elements of Open Finance.The inclusion of the additional financial data within the Pension Dashboard could offer users a more holistic view of their finances and enable better money management across the different life-stages.09Digital Assets Digital assets leverage
59、 Distributed Ledger Technology(DLT)to open up myriad opportunities for industry innovation,including improving cross-border payments,streamlining trade finance,enhancing anti-money laundering compliance,enabling digital identity,tokenisation and creating new products and services.While digital asset
60、s comprise a broad spectrum of use cases and applications,tokenised assets and Central Bank Digital Currencies(CBDCs)arguably represent the greatest opportunity for Open Finance.Blockchain technology,underpinning tokenised assets and CBDCs,enhances flexibility,efficiency,security,and transparency of
61、 transactions.It has a potential to propel the implementation of Open Finance by facilitating interoperability between systems and enabling the secure exchange of information and enable more Open Finance use cases.By leveraging smart contracts,lenders and borrowers will be able to operate via a dece
62、ntralised platform,which can significantly reduce costs.Another example is evident in home buying,where smart contracts can automate the legal process lowering the legal fees.10Fraud and Economic Crime The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023(ECCTA)came into force in October 2023.It in
63、troduces amendments to the corporate liability law and anti-money laundering regulation14.Proposed provisions look to improve the reliability and security of the Companies House,tackle the misuse of limited partnerships,introduce a registry of overseas entities,improve effectiveness of Unexplained W
64、ealth Orders(UWOs),and provide additional powers to seize criminal crypto assets.This may enable better digital companies data from Companies House,supporting Open Finance applications,and support data sharing.Other initiatives are also underway to develop data sharing solutions to tackle fraud:in O
65、pen Banking,Transaction Risk Indicators have been developed as part of the JROC programme,to enable real time identification of potential fraud.The Payment Systems Regulator(PSR)is also advancing further work to develop data sharing to identify potentially fraudulent APP(Authorised Push Payment)tran
66、sactions.7The Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK-KPMG&Innovate FinanceAdditional Building Blocks Alongside these inflight initiatives,there are several additional components required to enable an Open Finance ecosystem.We have set out the additional areas of functionality or standards that will serve
67、 as the building blocks required for Open Finance.01Consumer Protections and Dispute Management Consumer protection varies depending on the payment method used.In the UK,the card schemes provide the most advanced levels of consumer protection,with additional protection on credit cards purchases(Sect
68、ion 75 of the Consumer Credit Act)and well-defined dispute management mechanisms in the form of the chargeback service.If Open Banking is to compete in the retail payments market against payment methods such as cards,it is crucial that adequate and appropriate purchase protections are put in place t
69、o build customer trust and encourage further adoption of Open Banking services.More widely,a dispute mechanism is needed for Open Finance applications and services-for consumers if something goes wrong;and for service providers and data holders if there is a commercial dispute.02Trust Frameworks for
70、 Data SharingAs we shift towards an open ecosystem,there needs to be appropriate guardrails implemented to protect consumer trust.In an ever-changing digital world,the threat of cyber-attacks,data breaches,fraud,scams and system failures pose increasingly more significant threats to the overall inte
71、grity of the open ecosystem.Ensuring trust within an Open Finance economy is critical for adoption and success.A consumers willingness to consent to sharing additional personal financial data will directly relate to their understanding of the benefits of Open Finance solutions and the confidence and
72、 trust of their service providers.As a result,it is crucial that firms invest in scalable,resilient services that are capable of securely managing and protecting consumer data.Open Banking has implemented a trust framework that can be a blueprint for Open Finance.Open Banking is underpinned by 6 pri
73、nciples:1.The customer never has to share their username and password with any entity other than their bank.2.Open Banking is opt in,not opt out.3.It depends on explicit consent given by the customer.4.It is as easy to revoke permission as to give it.5.Only authorised entities can participate:only a
74、uthorised service providers can register on the Open Banking Directory,so unauthorised firms cannot trick customers into sharing their data with them.6.If anything goes wrong there is a customer redress mechanism.This trust framework is developed,maintained and overseen by Opening Banking Limited,a
75、not-for-profit entity that sets the standards,scheme rules,accreditation of participants,and performance monitoring.A universal trust framework that sets standards for performance and reliability of the service and promotes interoperability is key to setting clear expectations and reducing friction
76、for participants across the ecosystem.This trust framework would need to be underpinned by firms having strong governance and compliance frameworks in place to effectively manage risk,data,fraud,and the appropriate response plans in place to notify and respond to incidents should they occur.There ar
77、e JROC activities underway to build upon existing data platforms that capture API performance and certification for broader data sharing use cases in fraud mitigation,financial crime and improving information flows to TPPs.This platform,currently operated by Open Banking Limited,could be the technol
78、ogy enabler for broader and commercial data sharing requirements within Open Finance.03Commercial Models Given Open Banking was introduced in the UK as a regulatory activity with open access to the suite of mandatory APIs,pricing models and commercial incentive structures have not matured.With the g
79、rowth of premium Open Banking propositions beyond the CMA Order,and further expansion into Open Finance,the requirement for a sustainable economic model that appropriately compensates different parties along the value chain,as well as incentivises engagement and innovation,is paramount.In future,gov
80、ernment and regulators may(or may not)choose to mandate defined service providers to provide defined Open Finance services.Mandated activities may be applied to all market players where law makers and regulators consider this is necessary to ensure a public good which cannot be achieved by the open
81、market alone,or they may be applied to those seen as having significant market power(and/or significant holders of relevant data)in order to open up new services or increase competition in existing services.Commercial models can and should work where there is no such mandatory or public interest req
82、uirements.8The Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK-KPMG&Innovate FinanceOpen Finance services and use cases need to be capable of operating on a commercial basis whether or not some of the framework is prescribed by regulators or law makers.Unless there is a wider public policy case(as did exist in te
83、rms of competition in the current account bank market),data holders(often market incumbents)should be able to(at a minimum)recover their costs for providing data to a third party,and be suitably incentivised to engage,participate and innovate within the Open Finance ecosystem.Equally,third party pro
84、viders should be able to access data on behalf of a citizen at a fair and reasonable price that reflects the data holder costs and does not act as a barrier by making the business model loss making.There will be numerous other factors affecting commercial viability.One such factor is scale where at
85、the outset services may be uneconomical due to low volumes,yet become cost effective and commercially viable once a scale and volume is reached.In short there is no silver bullet to introduce sustainable commercial models.Each use case and market will need to be appraised of the commercial or regula
86、tory model that best fits the potential benefits,costs incurred,and wider market considerations-and these will need to be reviewed over time.For example,to potentially change the commercial or regulatory balance as a market scales(reducing costs)or develops(either as a competitive market or as a mon
87、opoly or oligopoly develops).There can however be some common principles established to avoid reinventing the wheel.This may include assessing whether a commercial model has been tried;considerations of cost allocation and fair pricing(including what costs are included in the cost of providing acces
88、s to date by the data holder),and the extent to which any commercial model empowers the individual consumer or data owner.Leveraging the JROC principles for funding models may also be a constructive starting point to be extrapolated to broader Open Finance initiatives:fair,proportionate,clear and tr
89、ansparent;simple to access;will not lead to bad behaviours;simple to administer;avoids barriers to entry;recognises different business models.04Digital ID A digital ID framework could serve as the cornerstone for secure and efficient financial transactions in an open data ecosystem in the UK.Reusabl
90、e digital verification can enable consumers to access smart data and Open Finance services easily and securely,it can help tackle fraud,and it opens up opportunities to tackle financial exclusion(often caused by people not having a variety of paper based documentation).This lays the foundation for i
91、mplementing advanced authentication and digital ID verification methods while ensuring compliance with the latest regulatory standards which will in turn,increase trust and confidence in digital UK financial services.A digital ID could provide a trusted mechanism that will allow mass adoption of Ope
92、n Finance solutions across the ecosystem.However as the UK shift towards this operating model,there needs to be strong collaboration amongst market participants to promote trust and manage risk across the value chain.05Global Interoperability In looking at international standards for compatibility,t
93、here are two aspects that will be important for the future success of Open Finance in the UK:For cross border services,ensuring that regimes for cross border transactions provide equivalent protections.For products being offered for domestic services in more than one country,for example enabling UK
94、FinTechs to export their products and services to other jurisdictions.For cross border services,there is a wider set of standards or scheme rules that need to be recognised to provide trust and confidence of consumers,commercial participants and government and regulators.Data protection regimes(and
95、equivalence of these)will also be an important building block.ISO 20022 provides the initial technical standards for relevant API interoperability.However,this may require development of bilateral or multilateral international agreements covering aspects such as trust frameworks specifically for dat
96、a use,commercial disputes resolution,consumer redress,fraud protections as well as balancing the respective requirements of domestic sovereignty and resilience requirements with international interoperability.06Governance OversightWithin financial services we already have a number of industry bodies
97、 that in some way provide governance or cross-industry agreement of specific markets,in some cases intertwined with regulatory requirements.Open Banking Limited is one such example.For the pensions dashboard,the Money and Pensions Service has established a Pension Dashboard Programme.Outside of Open
98、 Finance,SCOR(Steering Committee on Reciprocity)brings together the Credit Rating Agencies and some other market participants to agree rules on the sharing of credit data something that is being reviewed by an independent working group set up by the Financial Conduct Authority(FCA).As we expand from
99、 Open Banking to Open Finance,an independent governance body or bodies will be needed to set the strategic direction,enforce standards and trust frameworks,manage certification and access,oversee commercial disputes and potentially manage operational activities,such as service directories and system
100、 security.The JROC industry working group on the Future Entity for Open Banking has carefully considered the question of governance of future Open Banking entity.This provides a good working model for future governance of sector schemes within financial services and has been designed with expansion
101、to other Open Finance areas in mind.There may be a case for a single high level overarching governance model providing a framework for all Open Finance schemes.This is possibly not something that can be built at the outset but may or may not evolve over time.At the minimum,consistency and collaborat
102、ion between entities will be critical,not least in ensuring that different data sets can be combined in single services;and whilst more than one entity may be needed,avoiding a profusion of multiple entities will be desirable.9The Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK-KPMG&Innovate FinanceA Path to Open
103、 Finance in the UK Open Finance is a multi-faceted,cross-industry concept,and consequently there are multiple different scenarios to achieve this vision for the UK.There are various implementation factors to consider,from governance models,commercial incentives,priority use cases,whether the impetus
104、 for innovation is regulatory or market driven,and,most importantly,the desired outcomes for customers and the market.Regardless of the path,underpinning the successful realisation of Open Finance,we have identified three prerequisite criteria that must underpin development:Trust Frameworks and Stan
105、dards:Increasingly,trust is the currency we trade in within payments and Open Finance.Ensuring trust from end-users,between market participants and by regulators,is critical for adoption.Consistency of standards,and associated interoperability will support innovation,drive efficiency,and keep barrie
106、rs to entry for new FinTechs and innovators low.Performance and Reliability:As with any critical infrastructure,availability and resilience criteria are must-have table stakes for success.Open Banking Limited has led the world in terms of Open API performance metrics to date,however much more work i
107、s needed to deliver consistent performance standards that will enable mass adoption and payments services.Credibility and trust can be quickly undermined by poor performance or resilience issues,with potential to cause significant and immediate detriment to large sections of the population if they a
108、re unable to make payments or engage with their finances.Governance and Oversight:Having an accountable body to oversee the industry,mediate disputes and drive innovation forward will be critical.To some extent several different bodies will be needed-We propose that there is a role for government to
109、 set outcomes and objectives,for regulators to set the framework around that and industry to innovate within.Building out existing forums and leveraging areas for efficiency,shared services,and single ownership of horizontal issues such as trust frameworks or digital ID is advised,alongside a single
110、 government minister to oversee the UKs Open Finance strategy.For governments to assess the best model for the UK market,a matrix of prioritisation criteria should be applied:Ease of implementation:Too often,the industry has sought to tackle large-scale transformation programmes,and got stuck in the
111、 quagmire of requirements definition,collaborative decision making and descoping scenarios.Setting manageable,practical,and feasible goals that do not overburden change resources and investment capacity of industry stakeholders will be important criterion for success.Incentives&Participation Drivers
112、:Understanding the incentive levers that apply to different parties across the Open Finance value chain will be key to encouraging participation,engagement,and innovation.These could manifest from commercial,customer,efficiency,or regulatory drivers,with recognition that a combination of these incen
113、tives will likely be required to enable a flourishing market.Economic sustainability will be prerequisite for the long-term success of Open Finance.Outcomes&Macroeconomic Impact:We know that an outcomes-led approach is critical for the successful introduction of any new solution or market propositio
114、n.As governments,regulators and market leaders consider the prioritisation of different use cases and sectors for Open Finance,keeping the end-user outcomes or macro-economic objectives at the front of mind will be critical.There are some use cases that will drive greater socio-economic outcomes tha
115、n commercial outcomes and vice versa.Promotion of financial inclusion or ESG outcomes is equally important but must be led by outcome realisation analysis.10The Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK-KPMG&Innovate FinanceThree Scenarios to Achieve a Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK In this paper,we have
116、 set out three potential scenarios to implement Open Finance in the UK,outlining advantages,disadvantages,and implications of each.We recognise that there are different benefits to different parties across the value chain from each of the three scenarios,and each scenario will result in different us
117、e cases and macroeconomic outcomes.They are also not mutually exclusive or exhaustive of all scenario options.Nonetheless,the hypotheses below aim to provide the platform for discussion and debate for legislators,innovators,and all industry stakeholders to progress a pathway forward.Three potential

124、,enabling financing for net-zero positive behaviours Option for sequential,phased implementation approach 11The Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK-KPMG&Innovate FinanceScenario 1:Universal Mandate The first scenario is the introduction of a broad,data sharing mandate simultaneously across all sectors
125、,from which innovative market players can develop data-led commercial propositions.Whilst not as broad as the universal data right we have proposed here,the Consumer Data Right Legislation in Australia is a comparative example of this approach,enabling data sharing across banking,telecommunications,
126、and utility providers.Phase 1:IntroductionGovernment introduction of data sharing mandate,enabling data request rights to all licensed parties,across sectors Mitigates the data asymmetry imbalance that exists today where some parties,with significant customer data repositories beyond banking,can als

128、itions would be bilateral,between data holder and data recipientMarket driven innovation,with commercial outcomes as the primary driver for use case development this means innovators must be outcomes led,and will only develop propositions that satisfy the unmet needs of consumers Consumers will see

135、ss financial and lifestyle sectors,as well as offering embedded payments.Given the market-led approach of this scenario,consumers will also see the advantage of highly innovative and competitive product offerings,central to where the greatest demand and willingness to buy lies.There is clear opportu
136、nity for BigTech players in this scenario,working towards a super app.In addition,larger FinTechs will likely have a greater opportunity to enter new sectors they did not previously play in.However,there will also be opportunity for the smaller players in the market to follow niche,commercially feas
137、ible opportunities and carve out market share.There also lies the risk,that in this market-led approach,there wont be action.We have seen the limitation of voluntary engagement by incumbent banks within the UKs Open Banking mandate and acknowledge how a greater regulatory presence may be required to
138、 steer progress in this space.The contractual,operational and technology complexity of managing various use cases across different commercial relationships with third parties would also be high.Whilst a large opportunity lies for smaller TPPs to come to market,the various contracts that would need t
139、o be negotiated with each different counterparty,may present an access to data cost that is unfeasible high.Finally,whilst consumers ultimately win as a result of Open Finance,with this scenario there will likely only be access to,and investment into,those that are commercially viable for the TPPs.T
140、his leaves a gap in the market for social benefit solutions,such as ESG use cases,which could have a wider positive impact on the UK.Spotlight on:FDXThe Financial Data Exchange(FDX)in the US and Canada,is a non-profit industry body,established to support the migration towards a financial data sharin

142、rings,and an innovative economy.Whilst the FDX is not market-mandated and so not utilised across the US/Canadian market fully,a high proportion of members from across the ecosystem have coalesced around this standard,from large financial institutions to small FinTechs;giving a smaller-scale glimpse

152、ent initiatives 14The Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK-KPMG&Innovate FinanceUse cases that can leverage existing open infrastructure will be the clear winners here.Propositions that are adjacent to existing Open Banking frameworks,such as savings,account switching and investment15,and can leverage
153、the contractual basis and technological build of commercial Variable Recurring Payments(VRPs)will be quickly identified as low hanging fruit.Likewise,sectors that already have API-based infrastructure such as energy smart meters will be able to evolve propositions more quickly into embedded finance.
154、Alternatively,use cases such as green lending or financial inclusion would continue to face friction in delivering and co-ordinating cross-sector activities.Broader financial services capabilities,such as insurance and mortgages,would likely be longer term implementations the risk and regulatory pro
155、file,complex operational structure and nuanced requirements of these sectors would inevitably see these as longer-term developments.The biggest challenge under this scenario is interoperability and extensibility.With the continued development of individual initiatives,there will be vast amounts of v
156、aried data sources across multiple sectors.In the absence of a co-ordinated governance oversight and roadmap prioritisation mechanism,either led through regulation or by an empowered,accountable body,there would be a high level of complexity.This would result in different regulators being responsibl
157、e for managing their respective sectors-close monitoring and communication would be essential to ensure that interoperability,market competition and resilience of the market are monitored as the Open Finance ecosystem incrementally develops.Spotlight on:Regulatory Alignment The UK Regulators Network
158、(UKRN)brings together a broad range of UK regulators,for the benefit of consumers and the economy.Established by members in 2014,UKRN have developed strong relationships and a culture of collaboration and learning.UKRN work together to share knowledge and innovation,explore cross-cutting issues,and
159、build better ways of working.The PSR and FCA would play key roles in ensuring the priorities,standards and approaches are set to foster innovation and competition in the markets.The CMA would need to ensure that competition is closely monitored as the Open Finance ecosystem develops.The Prudential R
160、egulation Authority(PRA)would need to closely monitor how the Open Finance ecosystem develops,with a watchful eye on systemic resilience and third-party management.15The Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK-KPMG&Innovate FinanceScenario 3:Strategic PlanThe full potential of Open Finance lies in the cro
161、ss-sector use cases leveraging financial and non-financial data.Cross-sector use cases require collaborative pan-government leadership setting out a long-term vision,a north star to drive a sustainable impact on the economy and society.This scenario maximises the interoperability and collaboration b
162、etween sectors and enables the prioritisation of the most complex cross-sector use cases.Whilst more arduous,implementation of propositions bringing together several industries would drive more material impact on all stakeholders and the wider society than the other approaches.The governance and lea
163、dership of the strategic cross-sector vision would sit with a central pan-governmental body set up of which would leverage lessons drawn from Open Banking.This institution would comprise of diverse set of voices representing an array of stakeholder groups,including consumers,SMEs,trade bodies,FinTec
164、h,BigTech and regulators.The diversity would support inclusion alleviating the asymmetry of power and lowering the probability of frictions among market participants.There would be a single,regulatory strategy with prioritisation conducted centrally.The central institution would be responsible for l
165、aying out a roadmap for Open Finance use cases.While they would hold the ultimate accountability for the effective implementation,the key to the success would lie in the collaboration and input from key stakeholder groups starting from the vision co-creation.To mobilise action and collaboration the
166、vision and roadmap would take into account all market participants.This could mean convening cross-sector working groups.Should new regulation be required,the central institution would mobilise relevant parties,enforce the legislation and address violations.This could include imposing penalties on n
167、on-compliant firms and escalate disputes to appropriate institutions.The central entity would be responsible for consistent implementation of common standards.They would define and manage an incentive framework.To enhance efficiency,tactical activities could be delegated to sectors,schemes or specif

177、ross-sector and high social impact use cases having the most value.We hypothesise a winning use case being embedded credit decisioning within carbon emissions tracking,enabling financing for net-zero positive behaviours.As an example,access to real-time and accurate transaction and investment data e

183、ach with respective advantages and disadvantages.Yet the question remains-what is the best roadmap to enable widespread adoption and scaling of Open Finance?Considering the benefits of deep,industry specific initiatives against the realisation of broad-based mandates will be key.Ultimately,when cons
184、idering the respective advantages of different roadmap scenarios and the prioritisation matrix(Ease of Implementation,Incentives and Participation Drivers,Outcomes and Macroeconomic Impact)the potential for a sequential,phased approach across the three scenarios is foreseeable.Tackling low-hanging f
185、ruit use cases under an incremental model,in parallel with activity to design a strategic roadmap and enable interoperability across use cases,seems a pragmatic approach to drive momentum towards Open Finance.Open Finance will create new business models that will connect different verticals,and a ph
186、ased approach will enable the growth of both deep and broad innovators.In some circumstances,innovation will be specialist and personalised,inspiring propositions tailored to specific sectors,such as mortgage brokerage.On the other hand,well also see the emergence of FinTechs providing more generic
187、data sharing or ID verification services broadly across all industries.Irrespective of the model chosen,the development should be underpinned by key principles of a Trust Framework&Standards,Performance&Reliability,as well as Governance&Oversight.In practice we can expect the UK to adopt an approach
188、 that combines different elements of the scenarios we set out in this paper.What we now need is discussion and agreement on the direction of travel and key principles for Open Finance in the UK;together with a prioritisation and phasing of use cases and data sets.The momentum behind Open Finance in
189、the UK is clear.While the various initiatives and building blocks already underway will continue to iteratively evolve,we encourage legislators,innovators,and industry participants to come together and engage to progress a pathway forward.Undoubtedly,Open Finance represents a huge area of opportunit
190、y for the UK,and we look forward to working with stakeholders across the industry to engage,prepare,innovate,and grow.17The Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK-KPMG&Innovate FinanceContactsKPMGEllie HewittDirector,Open Finance Lead,Payments Consultingellie.hewittkpmg.co.ukPeter HarmstonPartner,Head of
