The Interoperability of Financial Data
The paper models financial data interoperability's impact on credit and payment markets, competition, welfare distribution, and bank--FinTech dynamics.
What it examines
This paper develops a general equilibrium model to study how sharing financial data affects competition in credit and payment markets. It examines different data-sharing regimes, including no sharing, Open Banking, and Open Finance, and addresses issues of monitoring and moral hazard to understand how data interoperability reshapes financial surplus allocation.
What it concludes
The study shows that data sharing can lower credit costs and shift surplus, but may raise payment prices. The results highlight the importance of considering cross-market spillovers, affecting policy design for Open Banking and CBDCs. Future applications include enhanced credit access and improved financial market regulation.
Evidence objects
Open Banking and Open Finance frameworks transform competition by reallocating surplus from credit to payments; while lowering credit costs for constrained firms, they raise payment service prices, impacting data-focused customers.
