Work with Ozone API to be ready for CFPB Section 1033

Regulated open banking is coming to the United States. The CFPB's final ruling on Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Act will be released in the fall, marking the beginning of true open banking in the US. Banks and financial institutions will be required to support the sharing of financial data in entirely new ways. 

The Ozone API platform helps bank and financial institutions to quickly and simply deliver standards compliant open APIs to meet regulatory obligations all around the world.

If you're uncertain about what the regulation entails or what you have to do to become compliant, we're here to help.

What does it all mean?

In 2023, the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau proposed rules to implement Section 1033 of the Consumer Financial Protection Act, more commonly referred to as the Dodd-Frank Act. This Section provides the basis for the establishment of Personal Financial Data Rights, marking the beginning of regulated open banking in the United States. It will mandate U.S. banks, financial institutions, fintechs and data aggregators to provide:

Consumer Control

 Provide consumers the ability to share their financial data with whomever they choose.

Security Measures

Use secure APIs and robust data protection protocols in place of insecure legacy methods.

Common Standards

Establish a qualified industry standard for those APIs and mandates adoption.

Transparency & Consent

Ensure that consumers have full knowledge and control over how their financial data is shared.
