Open Banking API performance

On this page you can find API performance of Open Banking data holders (speed and reliability) based on data from Australia’s most experienced CDR intermediary.

Tracking performance

We’ve been tracking the speed and reliability of Open Banking APIs since 2021. More recently, we’ve started measuring consent conversion, as the ticket to get access to CDR data is the consent.

As the Consumer Data Right is evolving, transparency about performance builds trust and enables businesses to confidently launch their Open Banking powered use cases.

As Australia’s most experienced Open Banking provider, we’re taking responsibility in providing this transparency and helping grow the ecosystem.

To do this, we’re using data from the Frollo consumer app, which has made more than 200 Million Open Banking API calls in production to date.

CDR APIs speed and reliability

API speed and reliability

Open Banking Data Holder API performance Q4 21 - Q4 23

This graph shows how the speed and reliability of Open Banking API connections have developed over time.

We’ve included the following APIs:

  • Transactions for account API: Enables a Data Recipient to request a list of transactions for a specific account
  • Accounts API: Provides basic information for a specific account, such as product category and account status
  • Bulk balances API: Provides balances for multiple, filtered accounts
  • Account details API: Provides detailed account information, including product information

The graph shows two metrics over time:

  • API speed: The average, end-to-end production response time of these APIs across all Data Holders
  • Reliability: The percentage of production calls to these APIs that was successful across all Data Holders

Open Banking consent conversion

Conversion chart

A data sharing consent in the CDR is the ticket to access financial information. Speed and reliability don’t matter much if a consent can’t be established.

This graph shows the percentage of consent attempts that don’t succeed on the Data Holder side, after the consent has been collected in the Frollo app (Data Recipient).

The 10 banks in this list are the ones with the highest number of consent attempts.
