[GNC] Open Banking Standards in AU and GB

[Frank H. Ellenberger]

Hi all,

Christopher found two promising links:
AU: https://www.finder.com.au/open-banking
GB (UK): https://www.openbanking.org.uk/

I am wondering if the one or other of you could dig in them and
cooperate with aqbanking.de to implement modules for them.

Regards
Frank

I wish to revisit this old thread -- https://www.openbanking.org.uk/ is
now live and contains authoritative instructions.

How does the team feel about expanding to the UK market?

Unfortunately I really cannot do C and I am comfortable in scheme only.

If aqbanking could be extendable with guile I'll get in!
