Speaking of which… if you don’t have an AmEx I’m more than willing to introduce you 😉

This will never happen for a variety of reasons.

The first one by being impractical. 😅

Yes, they are compliant in theory.

They have provided a modified interface that requires constant re-login to refresh the data, so we are not really interested in doing this.

For Open Banking, we are meeting in October, so they can provide further info.

Ok. I’ll wait for your October news before complaining with the Financial Ombudsman and the CMA then…

Yes, they used a fallback channel and instead of releasing OB connectivity, implemented a modified interface that is unusable. 🙂

Open banking is only required on payment accounts and has been extended in regards to the deadline by the FCA - they are _fully_ compliant. Not by a technicality. To imply that they could perhaps not be is really not on

The regs also say they can’t add friction to the process becuase the theory is it would bias toward use of their channels, having to Auth for every screenscrape where the creds aren’t storable seems like non compliant to me but then again in not a lawyer. I thought they were going to give TPPs a MATLS endpoint they could Auth to with thier EIDAS cert that would bypass SCA for read only ?

Yes, these people are not releasing anything before March 2020. It’s pathetic. 🤷‍♂️
