Yodlee Open Banking vs. Australian Competitors
Australia’s Open Banking regime puts consumers in charge of their banking data and allows them to decide which accredited third parties obtain their information. This is known as the Consumer Data Right, or CDR.
To participate in Open Banking, a third party such as Yodlee must undergo a rigorous and strict accreditation process through the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
When comparing Yodlee vs. Basiq, Yodlee vs. Plaid, Yodlee vs. Saltedge and other competitors such as Finicity and Illion, Yodlee is a proven leader in Open Banking readiness. Our solutions enable companies to operate in Australia’s ever-changing marketplace, due to the robust, secure and comprehensive nature of our products. At present, open banking is our preferred method of data connection, but until the Australian market can fully support such an environment, our data coverage offers access to both CDR and non-CDR data through secure, direct data access from a single platform and provider. Whichever solution you choose, the data is normalised, categorised and enriched to make it more meaningful and easier to consume.
As an active ADR and Intermediary, Yodlee offers access to data through a fully open banking compliant consent flow with Fastlink 4.0. We also provide local and global expertise via our Sydney-based team that delivers personalized solutions with comprehensive, enriched data and actionable insights. This is particularly crucial for companies looking to expand internationally.
