[This Committee was formerly called the Committee on Pricing for Financial Information Providers (FIPs)]

As part of our commitment to the participatory governance of the Account Aggregator (AA) network, we are delighted to announce the formation of a committee dedicated to assessing the need for the pricing of FIPs, analyzing key pricing archetypes in the industry and recommending a fair and transparent framework.
