Trustly joins FDX to further drive Open Banking in North America

San Carlos, United States and Stockholm, Sweden, May 25, 2021 — Trustly, the global leader in Online Banking Payments, is excited to share that it has joined the Financial Data Exchange (FDX) to further drive the evolution of Open Banking in North America.

Financial Data Exchange (FDX) is a non-profit dedicated to unifying the financial industry around a common technical standard for secure, convenient, and transparent consumer access to financial data. Its membership comes at a crucial time, as the new Biden administration in the US has indicated strong interest in regulating Open Finance and as Canada is scheduled to make decisions to regulate Open Banking by the end of 2021.

For the past 13 years, Trustly has been at the forefront of Open Banking in Europe, successfully contributing to the implementation of PSD2. Through its involvement in FDX, Trustly will now be able to lend its experience and play an equally significant role in shaping Open Banking in North America.

Don Cardinal, Managing Director, Financial Data Exchange, says: “As a leading provider of Online Banking Payments, Trustly will be a valuable addition to the FDX family. Like many of our members, Trustly’s provision of fast, simple and secure transactions while keeping the consumer in control is very much in line with FDX’s five core principles of data sharing. Trustly will provide our ecosystem with valuable insights as the financial services market unites around modern, secure and interoperable data sharing standards.”
