The framework is also emerging as a powerful tool for compliance and fraud prevention. With future possibilities like unified financial data, AI-driven advisory, seamless KYC, and Loan against wealth & securities, AA is poised to drive innovation on India’s journey to Viksit Bharat 2047.

quote On Account Aggregator (AA) Foundation Day, we congratulate the AA Ecosystem for making financial data sharing safe, simple, and consent-driven. We see the AA Framework promoting the use of data, analytics and technology for designing insurance products that are more affordable, accessible, and tailored to people’s needs. In 2025, the use of AA increased in the insurance sector, particularly for underwriting term insurance policies, and we encourage more insurance companies to experiment and innovate using the powerful DPI rails. This DPI is poised to play a key role in ensuring that every Indian family has adequate protection, and we achieve the country's objective of “Insurance for All by 2047”.

quote The Regulatory approved Account Aggregator framework is an important pillar in India’s digital public infrastructure, designed to unlock the value of trusted data for the economy. By enabling secure and consent-driven data sharing, AA is not only advancing financial inclusion but also laying the foundation for innovative, data-led financial services that can serve citizens and enterprises across the spectrum. As we mark September 2 as Account Aggregator Foundation Day, it is a moment to reflect on how far the ecosystem has come and the immense potential that lies ahead.
