Financial Data Exchange (FDX) is proud to report that 94 million consumer accounts are now actively using the FDX API for secure, permissioned data sharing, as highlighted in our Fall Adoption Metrics Survey. This milestone represents an 18 million account increase since March 2024, underscoring the growing trust and adoption of standardized financial data-sharing practices across the industry.

FDX Hits 94 Million Accounts, CFPB Publishes FDX's Standard-Setting Application

The FDX API continues to play a pivotal role in transitioning the industry from outdated methods like screen scraping to more secure, API-based solutions, giving consumers greater control over their financial data.

CFPB Publishes FDX Application for Standard-Setting Organization (SSO) Recognition  
In addition to this growth milestone, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has officially published FDX’s application for recognition as a Standard-Setting Organization (SSO). This marks a critical step forward as FDX seeks formal recognition for its work in developing secure, consumer-permissioned data-sharing standards that align with the upcoming open banking regulations in the U.S.

The CFPB’s publication of the application allows for public review and feedback, inviting industry stakeholders to engage in the process and provide comments until October 16, 2024. You can access the full application here.
