Committee on Interoperability

As part of our commitment to enhancing the efficiency and accessibility of the Account Aggregator (AA) network, we are delighted to announce the formation of a committee dedicated to addressing the procedural burdens of onboarding the AA Network. This committee will play a crucial role in addressing the challenges faced by Financial Information Users (FIUs) and Financial Information Providers (FIPs), paving the way for a more seamless and efficient experience.
