An individual can safely and digitally access and exchange information from one financial institution with whom they have an account to any other regulated financial institution. This is made possible with the use of an account aggregator RBI (AA), a specific category of RBI-regulated firm (with an NBFC-AA license). One of the advantages users get is the safety of their personal information that cannot be disclosed without their consent. There are numerous account aggregator frameworks from which one might select.
What is the account aggregator framework of RBI?
The ecosystem of account aggregator framework of RBI enables the interchange of financial data in real-time between regulated companies. The RBI, IRDA, PFRDA, and SEBI, the four main financial authorities, joined forces to permit regulated firms under their control to share data with account aggregator after obtaining user approval.
How can the financial situation be improved with the new AA network?
Consumers in India now must deal with a variety of inconveniences related to the financial system, including exchanging physically signed and scanned copies of bank statements, rushing about to notarize or stamp papers, and being required to submit your unique username and password in order to reveal your financial history to a third party. All of them would be replaced by the simple, mobile-based, clear, and secure digital data access & sharing mechanism offered by the account aggregator of RBI network. This will create opportunities for new services like different forms of loans.
