Open Banking: A Critical Piece in the Future of Financial Services

Julian Alcazar and Samuel Baird

Payments System Research Briefing, 2026, 5

Abstract: Open banking enables consumers to securely share data from their bank accounts with third-party service providers. By using application programming interfaces, open banking facilitates innovations such as Pay-by-Bank payments, instant bill payments, and cash-flow-based lending. While regulatory efforts are underway at both federal and state levels, technological and operational barriers and a lack of standardization continue to challenge widespread use of open banking in the United States.
