2.   Adoption of Agenda (Dave/Nat)

4.   External Orgs & Liaisons (Mike L./Chris)

4.1.   SAMA

OIDF is still awaiting their final KSA FAPI Profile specification and to develop the conformance tests. We communicated to SAMA that it would likely be the end of December or early January before the production tests and certification is available.

Other regional regulators are watching SAMA’s approach to Open Banking.

4.2.   Brazil

Chicago Advisory Partners, Administrator of Open Finance Brazil, has joined the OIDF board and attended the board meeting on Nov 14.

4.3.   Open Finance Brazil

The certification team continue to receive re-certification requests.

4.4.   OPIN

The certification team is starting to see initial FAPI certification requests and requests may increase throughout Dec.

4.5.   Australia

Stuttgart has completed work package 1.

Need to create blogs to communicate completion.

Work package 2 is pending funding approval and contract release by Australian Treasury by the end of the week

Australia asked questions regarding JARM and encrypted JARM

4.7.   Open Banking Nigeria

The Central Bank of Nigeria has stalled on open banking since they released the draft guidance last May. It may be that their priorities have shifted from Open Banking to fighting inflation, releasing new currency designs, and pushing the e-Naira CBDC. Open Banking Nigeria have decided it wouldn’t be easy to pull off auth and authorization over USSD with OAuth2 and FAPI at this time however, the team is still exploring some ideas to see how to make this work.

9.   Chat Transcripts

Mike:

US I assume FAPI WG has discussed the CFPB announcements from Money 20/20 on open banking regulation. If anyone has heard about comment periods being open or anything please keep WG updated including Gail.

Canada Open banking lead Abraham made public comments at a conference the Thursday before thanksgiving on their plans. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/events/article-mapping-canadas-path-to-open-banking/

Open Banking Implementation Website is hosting all the results of the working group meeting materials and conclusions for last 6 moths. They plan to move to data sharing in 2023 (not payment). I have not read all information, but they are closed analysing UK, Australia and other models around consumer data rights, and specifically mention that OBIE uses OIDF to certify and Australia does not. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/programs/financial-sector-policy/open-banking-implementation.html

The call adjourned at 15:__
