FDATA North America Responds to the Bank of Canada’s Retail Payments Supervision Consultation

Contact: Laine Williams, (202) 897-4757, [email protected] 

May 21, 2024, Washington, DC – The Financial Data and Technology Association of North America (FDATA), a trade association representing more than 30 financial technology companies and consumer-permissioned data access platforms in Canada and the United States, today responded to the Bank of Canada’s Retail Payments Supervision Consultation regarding its new supervisory guidelines for payment service providers (PSPs). FDATA North America expressed broad support for the Retail Payments Activities Act (RPAA) regulations while requesting additional clarity in the Bank’s guidance.

FDATA North America highlighted that implementation of the RPAA regulations will establish a robust regulatory framework for as many as 2,500 PSPs, significantly advancing Canada’s financial services modernization. In the response, FDATA North America emphasized that the RPAA regulations should facilitate the inclusion of payment use cases into Canada’s consumer-driven banking framework, as announced by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland in the 2024 budget. By incorporating payment initiation use cases at this early stage, Canada can align with other G7 nations that have already established non-bank PSP regulations and open finance frameworks.

In its comments, FDATA North America provided detailed responses to key aspects of the supervisory guidelines. For operational risk and incident response, it urged comprehensive due diligence for outsourced service providers, flexible compliance standards like SOC II Type 2 audits, clear thresholds for distinguishing different types of PSPs, and an extended 24-hour reporting period for material breaches. It proposed that PSPs report incidents solely to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) to reduce duplicative reporting. For safeguarding end-user funds, FDATA requested clarity on the definition of “holding funds” and recommended excluding firms that facilitate transactions but don’t hold funds. Additionally, it called for explicit criteria for changes warranting notification, particularly for cloud migration, to help PSPs manage risks while complying.

A full copy of the response is available here.

FDATA North America Sends Letter to CFPB Advocating for Distinction Between Digital Wallets and Passthrough Payment Platforms

Contact: Laine Williams, (202) 897-4757, [email protected] 

May 2, 2024, Washington, DC – The Financial Data and Technology Association of North America (FDATA), a trade association representing more than 30 financial technology companies and consumer-permissioned data access platforms in Canada and the United States, today sent a letter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB or Bureau) addressing concerns in the Bureau’s approach to digital wallets and passthrough payment platforms in both its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Personal Financial Data Rights and its NPRM on Defining Larger Participants of a Market for General-Use Digital Consumer Payments.

The letter highlighted a critical oversight in the CFPB’s draft regulations, which grouped digital wallets—designed to hold consumer assets—with passthrough payment platforms that merely facilitate transactions via accounts at other financial institutions. FDATA emphasized that this conflation could compromise regulatory effectiveness, confuse consumers, and stifle innovation in the market, with key points from the letter including:

  • General Definitions: The proposed rules offered overly broad definitions for digital wallets that did not acknowledge the operational distinctions from passthrough payment services.
  • Regulatory and Consumer Impacts: The lack of distinction was criticized for potentially imposing undue regulatory burdens on passthrough platforms without offering additional consumer protections.
  • Call for Tailored Regulation: FDATA North America advocated for the CFPB to refine its regulations to accurately mirror the diverse functionalities within digital financial services, ensuring focused and effective consumer protections.
  • Concern Over Data Duplication: The current approach could lead to unnecessary and confusing duplications in regulatory data requirements.
  • Innovation at Risk: The letter emphasized the importance of a regulatory framework that understands the operational realities of digital finance to foster innovation and ensure consumer safety.
  • Plea for Precise Rulemaking: FDATA North America stressed the need for rulemakings that distinguish between the various digital financial services, benefiting consumers, providers, and the broader financial ecosystem.

FDATA called on the CFPB to exempt passthrough payment platforms from being considered data providers under its Personal Financial Data Rights rule and from the supervisory requirements set forth in its payments Larger Participant Rulemaking.

FDATA North America Statement on Budget 2024 Initiating Consumer-Driven Banking Framework

Contact: Laine Williams, (202) 897-4757, [email protected] 

Washington, DC, April 16, 2024 – The Financial Data and Technology Association of North America (FDATA), a trade association representing more than 30 financial technology companies and consumer-permissioned data access platforms in Canada and the United States, today applauded the government’s inclusion of a framework to deliver consumer-driven banking as part of Budget 2024.

FDATA North America, which has long advocated for consumer and small business benefits that an open finance framework will deliver for Canadians, commended the government for outlining a detailed vision of the design of open finance in Canada and a commitment to begin implementing the system through legislation this spring and announcing its intention to create an open finance framework in Canada that is interoperable with the framework that the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will finalize later this year. As the government begins its work to finally deliver open finance in Canada in 2025, FDATA North America encourages the Department of Finance to include small business accounts under the scope of the framework to ensure that Canadian SMEs receive the same open finance benefits as consumers.

Steve Boms, Executive Director of FDATA, released the following statement:

“We are greatly encouraged by the Government of Canada’s commitment to advance open finance in Canada. The inclusion of Consumer Driven Banking in Budget 2024 marks a significant step for the financial empowerment of consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises. Once successfully implemented, this will foster a more innovative Canadian financial services marketplace, and promote a fairer and more inclusive financial services ecosystem. It reflects a global trend towards consumer-centric financial services and brings Canada in line with the regimes established by nearly every other G-7 nation.

We applaud the comprehensive framework announced in the budget and look forward to working closely with the government as it actualizes open finance to benefit Canadian consumers and small businesses.”

FDATA North America Sends Letter to Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon and Wyoming Legislators Urging Revision of Open Banking Legislation

Contact: Laine Williams, (202) 897-4757, [email protected] 

March 15, 2024 Washington, DC – The Financial Data and Technology Association of North America (FDATA) today sent a letter to Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon and Wyoming legislators including Representative Cyrus Western, Representative Daniel Singh, Representative Mike Yin, Senator Alfie Ellis, Senator Tara Nethercott, and Senator Chris Rothfuss, highlighting concerns about a Wyoming bill (HB 145) that was recently enacted into law and offering to provide input into Wyoming’s open banking regulations and financial innovation agenda.
