Aggregators Face Critical Confidence Gap

Open finance has fundamentally reshaped financial services, yet a critical confidence gap in risk management continues to limit its full potential.

Let’s Talk

Across the ecosystem, aggregators are searching for a solution

Aggregators face a fragmented and inefficient accreditation environment. Each financial institution applies bespoke standards, forcing duplicated effort, higher costs, and inconsistent compliance burdens. This lack of cohesion undermines resilience and slows access.

The strategic consequences are equally significant. Delayed partnerships with financial institutions and third-party providers erode time-to-market. Elevated compliance and onboarding demands drain resources from innovation and growth, while the absence of shared infrastructure prevents economies of scale and keeps costs high. Limited visibility into downstream risks heightens exposure to sudden disruptions in account access, and undermines confidence in aggregators’ ability to safeguard continuity and resilience.
