February 2023 has witnessed
cumulative successful consent requests cross 5 million across the entire AA ecosystem! This is a momentous number giving us immense confidence in the ease of application and security of data sharing that the AA framework provides to the citizens and financial sector of this country.
We have 32 financial institutions enabled to share data of their customers (FIPs), 144 institutions enabled to utilise the data from FIPs to provide financial product or service to their customer (FIUs) and 9 operational account aggregators enabling this data transfer through the AA network (AA). The entire ecosystem, including financial institutions that are testing, developing and at other stages of adoption is today nearly 300! If we go on to include in-principle AAs, technology providers and other entities, we are a strong ecosystem of 400 entities!
The Ecosystem makes great progress towards achieving its basic principles which include interoperability and reciprocity. 29 out of 32 FIPs today are live with 4 or more AAs, thus demonstrating that the system is becoming increasingly interoperable. Bajaj Finserv became the first Deposit Taking NBFC to join as a FIP denoting the commitment to principle of reciprocity. Two Regional Rural Banks went live on AA, further cementing the potential of this framework to achieve financial inclusion.
The community, together with Sahamati, is working towards efforts at building transparency, stability, and standardisation for a healthy scale-up of the ecosystem. Look out for this space as we announce some newer initiatives targeted at achieving collective goals over the next few months.
