Posted on 10/05/2023

FDX celebrates incredible milestone reflecting the growing trust and adoption of its FDX API for consumer-permissioned data sharing.

RESTON, Va., October 5, 2023 – The Financial Data Exchange (FDX) today reports that 65 million consumer accounts are now actively utilizing its FDX API for secure open finance data sharing. Since FDX’s last report in April of 2023, a staggering 13 million additional consumer accounts were transitioned to the FDX API. This incredible milestone reflects the widespread trust and acceptance of a standardized approach to accessing financial data and FDX anticipates the growth to continue.
Commenting on this achievement, FDX’s Managing Director, Don Cardinal stated “This is a testament to the hard work of our members and their commitment to a common, free, interoperable standard for the secure, permissioned sharing of financial data via the FDX API.”
Today’s announcement stems from FDX’s Fall 2023 FDX Adoption Metrics Survey, which compiles reporting from the 200+ members of FDX. While the FDX API remains free to view and use, it is essential to note that this survey does not include non-FDX member data. 
FDX’s Senior Director of Product, Jean-Paul LaClair, added “Witnessing the rapid growth to 65 million consumer accounts is a clear indication of the financial industry's shift towards a more consumer-centric, transparent approach. Our trajectory with the FDX API affirms the collective vision of a safer, unified financial ecosystem.”
FDX’s anticipated product release will be issued in December to include version 6.0 of the FDX API. The FDX API currently defines approximately 660 unique financial data elements, revolutionizing how individuals and businesses securely access and manage their financial information while fostering innovation and competition within the financial ecosystem.
