2021- Account Aggregators- India's Innovation in Financial Services

Image
Since 2009. INDIA’S INVESTMENTS IN ITS DIGITAL financial infrastructure—known as “India Stack”—have sped up the large-scale digitization of people’s financial lives. As more and more people begin to conduct transactions online, questions have emerged about how to provide millions of customers adequate data protection and privacy while allowing their data to flow throughout the financial system. Data-sharing among financial services providers (FSPs) can enable providers to more efficiently offer a wider range of financial products better tailored to the needs of customers, including low-income customers. However, it is important to ensure customers understand and consent to how their data are being used. India’s solution to this challenge is account aggregators (AAs).

On 26th April 2019, Seven of these AAs has gone into a closed user group testing. This is an epoch moment when the users in India can claim ownership over their own financial data. We hope that this will accelerate the revolution of cash flow based lending that will replace the existing paradigm of collateral-based lending. This isn’t only a consumer-centric innovation. Access to the right data means lenders can proactively monitor and evaluate currently disbursed loans. Such a move will not only increase the quantity of lending through increased access but also the quality of lending through better screening of borrowers, early alerts, etc. For more information, please visit: https://sahamati.org.in/
