RESTON, Va., Oct. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Financial Data Exchange (FDX) today announced that 65 million consumer accounts are actively using its FDX API for secure sharing of open financial data. Since FDX’s last report in April 2023, an additional 13 million consumer accounts have been moved to the FDX API. This incredible milestone reflects trust and acceptance of a standardized approach to accessing financial data and FDX expects growth to continue.
Commenting on this achievement, Don Cardinal, Managing Director of FDX, said: “This is a testament to the hard work of our members and their commitment to a common, free and interoperable standard for the secure and authorized sharing of financial data via ‘FDX API’.
Today’s announcement stems from the FDX Fall 2023 FDX Adoption Metrics Survey, which compiles reports from more than 200 FDX members. While the FDX API remains free to view and use, it is essential to note that this survey does not include data from non-FDX members.
Jean-Paul LaClair, Senior Product Manager of FDX, added: “The rapid growth of 65 million consumer accounts is a clear indication of the financial industry’s evolution towards a more transparent and consumer-centric approach. Our trajectory with the FDX API confirms the collective vision of a more secure and unified financial ecosystem.
FDX API version 6.0 will be released in December. The FDX API currently defines approximately 660 unique financial data elements, revolutionizing the way individuals and businesses access and manage their financial information securely, while encouraging innovation and competition within the financial ecosystem.
