The Open Bank Project is a European initiative to open up financial
transactions to much larger groups of individuals and raise the bar
of financial transparency. It will achieve this by allowing a
diverse range of third-party software applications (including fraud
analysis tools, web apps, mobile apps, social widgets and payment
gateways) to access any bank account that supports the Open Bank
Protocol and API.
We are building a consortium of banks, software companies,
institutions, universities and open source and web 2.0 experts who
will apply for EU funding and realise the project. Partners already
include organisations from Germany, France, UK, Finland, Israel and
Egypt.
