Is open banking safe?

Open banking works via a secure application programming interface (API), which is a safe and commonly-used method for two computer programs to share information. 

If you’re already using your bank’s mobile app or online banking facility, open banking is just as safe as that.

The open banking system has strict standards and regulations about which providers can participate, and the security of the technology they must use.
