Open Banking is a concept based on an application programming interface (API) and intended for sharing financial information necessary for the development of financial products and services. Contrary to the conventional centralised management of financial data, Open Banking relies on a technological network of different financial institutions, enabling them to exchange information more efficiently.
In November 2018, the Bank of Lithuania launched a public consultation on Open Banking. Banks and FinTech companies operating in Lithuania as well as foreign market participants were active in giving rich and diverse feedback and suggestions. After considering the proposals received during the public consultation, a financial sector API register has been set up, while a working group of the Payments Council had explored the possibilities of the development of Open Banking. In 2020, the Payments Council approved the report with recommendations (532.5 KB download icon)prepared by the working group.
