“As the industry digitizes further and consumers expect more control over their data, a common standard and operating framework for sharing financial data is imperative,” said Doug Bacon, Managing Director of Xtensifi. “It also helps free us and the financial institutions we serve to focus efforts where it matters most – on innovation for consumers and small businesses.”

“Since launching in 2018, we’ve built a network of over 100 organizations that are committed to collectively transitioning to a modern, transparent and secure data sharing approach,” said Don Cardinal, Managing Director of the Financial Data Exchange. “Together, we have not only transitioned nearly 12 million U.S. consumers to the FDX API, but released the fourth version of our standard that further enhances interoperability and increases the number of supported use cases.”
