Innovo’s platform facilitates fast-tracking the launch of open banking services for both Product Reference Data (PRD) and Consumer data. For all ADIs, PRD is mandated to go-live in 3 phases commencing 1 November 2020. Consumer data is scheduled to go-live in 2 phases commencing 1 July 2021.

With an architecture that supports both Data Holders and Data Recipients via its virtual banking module, test harness, API library and conformance reporting module, CCP can be configured to support Open Banking and other industry verticals when mandated in future legislation.
