The idea is that with this information on hand, financial institutions can offer customized and cheaper products. Another change can be felt when opening an account with a bank or fintech. With the sharing of registration data, the process should be simpler and faster.

For example, if a fintech company can access a 15-year credit history of a large bank client, it can offer that person cheaper and more personalized products.

In addition, in the future, the company can launch a pool of credit offers, and using the customer’s credit history, you can offer the cheapest offers with better terms.
