</p><p>The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) published the final report of its
market investigation into retail banking on 9 August 2016. As part of this the CMA
requires the nine largest UK banks to develop and adopt an open banking standard for
application programming interfaces (APIs) to allow access to customer account information,
as set out in the revised Payment Services Directive (PSDII) which will come into
force in January 2018. These nine banks are required to deliver open data APIs and
midata APIs by Q1 2017, and deliver the full open API banking standard by early 2018.
Data protection and cyber security are key considerations in PSDII, and the government
will be consulting on the transposition of this directive shortly.</p><p> </p>
