What is Open Banking

In 2019, the Australian Government passed the Consumer Data Right (CDR) legislation, which is often referred to by the banking industry as Open Banking.

Open Banking aims to provide greater choice and control for Australians over how their data is used and disclosed. It will allow consumers to access their banking information in a usable form by directly transferring that information to an accredited data recipient.

Do I have to share my bank data?

To share your personal data via Open Banking is entirely your choice. We will never share your personal data without your consent. If you have a joint account, then any joint account holder can share your joint account data, though you will be notified if they do and you have a choice to disable data sharing at any time for any of your joint accounts.

Who can share data?

To be eligible for Open Banking data sharing, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age.
  • Own or be an appointed data sharing delegate of the relevant account(s).
  • Be registered for Online Banking.
  • Have a current mobile number registered in Nucleus.
Can a signatory share my data through Open Banking?

Yes. A signatory (including business signatories and supplementary credit cardholders) can share your data through Open Banking if they are set up as a ‘delegate’ via the Open Banking dashboard. This must be done by the account owner or controlling person.

Can a Power of Attorney share data on behalf of their Principal Customer?

Yes, they can. To share data on behalf of their Principal Customer, a Power of Attorney(s) must complete form SC33 to Add/Delete Attorney(s) on Personal Accounts.

If the Power of Attorney(s) select ‘yes’ to allow data sharing, they will be approved as a ‘Delegate’ for Open Banking.

You will be able to share data such as:

  • Your details, such as your name, addresses and contact details
  • Account Details such as Name, Number, Type, Balances and Features
  • Transaction Details such as Amounts, Dates and Description of transactions
  • Direct Debits and Scheduled Payments
Data sharing via Open Banking is enabled for savings, transaction, credit cards, term deposit, home loan, personal loan, business loan, overdraft accounts including joint accounts that you hold with Great Southern Bank. Business accounts held by sole traders, companies and trusts, including self managed super funds are currently not available.

  • And ‘consent’ to commence data sharing with the accredited data recipient
