Timetable and Delivery
Delivery of common API standards

To achieve the delivery of common API standards the CMA require the nine banks in the UK with the largest market share (RBS Group, Lloyds Banking Group, Barclays, HSBC Group, Nationwide, Santander, Danske, Bank of Ireland and AIB Group) to adopt and maintain common API standards through which they will share data with other providers and third parties. The first delivery date is by end Q1 2017 (see below for more detail). The CMA has also reiterated that the open API standard should be developed so that it is compatible with other interrelated regulatory requirements, such as those under the revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2).
To deliver this remedy, the CMA is requiring the nine institutions to create and fund an Implementation Entity with an Implementation Trustee, accountable to the CMA. The CMA approves the composition, governance arrangements, funding and budget of the Entity, and has approved the appointment of the Trustee.
Given Payments UK’s extensive involvement to develop the Open Banking Standard report for HM Treasury in 2015; our work on the transposition and implementation of PSD2; and the fact that all nine institutions are members of Payments UK, we are supporting the initial phase of supporting the nine banks to ensure rapid and positive progress is made, whilst remaining inclusive and transparent.
As a result Payments UK is providing support and a secretariat function to the nine named institutions as the work progresses, including facilitating the necessary engagement with all appropriate stakeholders.
Any subsequent involvement by Payments UK will be a decision taken by the Implementation Trustee.
The nine institutions have set up a Steering Group to progress this initial, set-up phase and have invited interested regulators to join as observers. Updates from the Steering Group will be published on this web page.
