One year in, Open Banking has 12 live Data Holders
On 1 July 2021, one year after the Consumer Data Right kicked off in Australia, we’re excited to announce we’ve launched Data Holder number 12 on the Frollo Open Banking platform.
In addition to the Big Four banks and Regional Australia Bank – who all launched last year – a number of tier two & three banks, mutuals and neo banks are now available via Open Banking, bringing coverage up to approximately 90%.
Live Data Holders in Frollo
When Data Holders get the ‘Active’ status on the CDR registry, they become available for Data Recipients to test and enable on their platforms (if all testing goes well).
The Frollo Open Banking platform powers the Frollo consumer app and our CDR Gateway, enabling business clients to collect and use Open Banking data.
As we’re working hard to test all Data Holders before enabling them on our platform, the list of currently available Data Holders looks as follows:
- AMP
- ANZ
- Australian Military Bank
- CBA
- Judo Bank
- NAB
- Regional Australia Bank
- RSL Money
- Tyro
- UBank
- Up Bank
- Westpac
Other Data Holders that are currently active on the registry include Suncorp, Macquarie Bank, Volt Bank and Citi, Coles financial services and Qantas Money.
More are expected to become ‘Active’ and ‘Live’ over the next few days and weeks.
Open Banking Data Recipients
Like the number of Data Holders, the number of Data Recipients is also growing. Currently there are 12 Data Recipients accredited to receive Open Banking data.
The big difference is that there are only two Data Recipients actually live: Frollo and Regional Australia Bank. Both have been live since 1 July 2020, when Open Banking launched in Australia.
With over 10 Million Open Banking API calls, Frollo is responsible for more than 95% of all Data Recipient activity to date.
Other Accredited Data Recipients like CBA and Finder haven’t launched their use cases yet, but will hopefully do so in the near future.
Because guess what?! Australians can’t wait!

Is there a timeline of integrating all live data holders in Frollo.
Hi Deependra,
When a Data Holder becomes ‘Active’ on the CDR Registry, Frollo automatically tries to connect with them. When there are no issues with their connection, we enable them for a select group of users to test in production – making sure transactions come through correctly, consent (withdrawal) works etc.
Once all of that works and we’re happy with the user experience we enable the Data Holder for all users of the Frollo app and our B2B clients using our CDR Gateway.
At that point, a Data Holder is ‘Live’.
Each Data Holder ‘Active’ on the CDR Registry is going through this process, some are quicker than others. We keep track of their progress here:

Hello. Will ING direct be coming onboard? Is there a timeline for this?
Hi Suzanne, we’re hoping to bring ING live in the next few weeks. Although they’re ‘Active’ on the CDR registry, they’re still having issues and are not ready to go live.
We keep track of all banks and their statuses on this page: https://www.frollostage3.wpengine.com/open-banking/open-banking-api-performance/
But we also announce new banks on social media and via email.
Hi,
After a bank becomes an Active Data Holder, what is the next step for them in this journey? And what does that process look like?
Hi Quynh,
When a bank becomes an Active Data Holder, they’ll need to perform Production Verification Testing to make sure their solution works in production. They can do this using our Frollo app, as we’re connected to all Active Data Holders and can make the bank available to a few of their employees for testing. Once they’re comfortable with their performance, we bring them live.
