New Caledonia Banks Must Comply with Strict Regulations Amidst Open Banking Revolution

As New Caledonia’s banking sector continues to evolve, regulators are cracking down on compliance issues to ensure that all banks, account providers and third-party providers operating in the territory meet strict standards. This move comes as open banking and open finance begin to disrupt traditional financial models, offering users greater control over their financial information.

The Shift towards Open Banking

Under new regulations, banks must provide customers with easy access to their accounts through APIs (application programming interfaces), allowing them to view all of their financial data in one place. This shift towards open banking has the potential to revolutionize the way people interact with financial services providers in New Caledonia, making it easier for consumers to manage their finances and compare products.

This move is seen as a major step forward in promoting financial inclusivity, with new entrants into the market, such as startups and fintech companies, looking to disrupt traditional finance models.
