Klaros Group partner Jonah Crane shares his thoughts on the 1033 rule in Banking Dive.
Partner at Klaros Group, an advisory and investment firm focused on the future of financial services
I haven't had time to truly collect my thoughts on the 1033 rule but shared some early impressions with Caitlin Mullen at Banking Dive (see below). I expand somewhat on the points we discussed here: ▪ The rule is important and will ensure more reliable and consistent access for consumers. That will catalyze even more innovation and competition using open banking infrastructure--99%+ reliability will be a game changer. ▪ The rule is not really about enabling bank "switching"--though it may help at the margin, that's largely a behavioral issue as the UK experience shows. Open banking is about enabling connectivity in the new unbundled world fintech has brought about. This is the infrastructure that stitches together the increasing array of applications consumers want to use. ▪ The banks' concerns about fraud and liability are not unfounded. The industry should work to develop frameworks for protecting against downstream breaches or misuse, and those can be found. I'm not sure there's a great Coasian solution here--assigning liability to the party best placed to prevent harm from occurring. ▪ Banks need to see opportunity, not just threats, in open banking. They can be data users as well as data providers! ▪ Small banks may live to regret exempting themselves. They will become increasingly irrelevant if they are out of step with basic consumer expectations when it comes to the ability to connect other financial applications to their bank account. Plenty to disagree with here. Please do. Look forward to digging in further. https://lnkd.in/evy4BUeM
