What is Open Banking?

Open Banking gives you greater access to and control over your banking data by allowing you to share information with third parties accredited by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

It’s a quick, easy and secure way to access and share your data, and compare what different providers are offering, while enabling you to make more informed decisions about the products and services you use.

Open Banking is part of the Australian Government’s Consumer Data Right initiative.





AMP's Consumer Data Right policy

 

AMP’s Consumer Data Right policy provides information on how AMP Bank manages data under the Open Banking initiative. It describes what data is available for you to share, how to ask for your data to be corrected and how to make a complaint.

More information on the Consumer Data Right can be found on the Consumer Data Right website.





FAQs

To be eligible to share your data, you must:

  • be over 18
  • be the account holder or appointed secondary user of an active and eligible account with AMP Bank
  • be registered for My AMP
  • make sure your mobile number is available in My AMP for password management when consenting to share data

What AMP Bank accounts are eligible for Open Banking?

You can share data on the following accounts as long as the account and the person requesting to share data is eligible:

  • Everyday and savings accounts
  • Term deposits
  • Offset accounts
  • Home and investment loans (including AMP Bank's "Line of Credit" product)
  • Business loans (including AMP Bank's "Line of Credit" product) 

You can also choose to share data on an account that has been closed for less than 24 months, provided you still have at least one account open with us.

You can share data on accounts held in your personal name as well as joint accounts held with other individuals.

Data sharing is also available to accounts held by a single company, a single corporate trustee, and other organisations, including partnerships.

All AMP Bank deposit, home loan and business loan accounts can share data under the Consumer Data Right. However, some accounts will be limited in how they can share data and may only be able to share identifying information (customer data) about the prime contact on the account.

What data can I share?

You can share:

  • personal information, like your full name, contact details and mailing address
  • account information, including the name on the account, type of account and balance, your current interest rate, and fees and charges that apply to the account
  • transaction details, including incoming and outgoing transactions, transaction dates, transaction descriptions and information about who you’ve sent money to and received money from

When sharing joint account data on joint accounts held by two or more individuals, personal information will only be shared for the joint account holder who initiated the sharing arrangement. If you did not initiate the sharing arrangement, then your personal information will not be shared with the data recipient.

How can I share my data?

You can provide your consent on the website or app of an accredited data recipient. You’ll then be taken to AMP's consent portal where you’ll confirm what data you’d like to share.

Step 1: Enter your My AMP username and click 'Continue'. For added security reasons, you won’t need to enter your My AMP password.

Step 2: We’ll send a unique one-time password to your mobile number registered in My AMP. Please enter this and click 'Continue'.

Step 3: Choose the account you’d like to share and click 'Continue'.

Step 4: Review the details and click 'Yes, I confirm'. We’ll then take you back to the accredited data recipient’s website or app.

How can I share data on a joint account held by two or more individuals?

All eligible accounts are set to ‘sharing enabled’ as a default.  To enable data sharing on a joint account, all account holders must ensure that their data sharing preference is set to ‘sharing enabled’.

Step 1: Log into My AMP and select "Manage data sharing" under your profile in the top left of the screen.

Step 2: Click on “Joint account data sharing” to see which accounts have data sharing enabled.

When you add, change, or stop a data sharing arrangement, notifications will be sent to the other joint account holders with details of the changes you’ve made. You can manage the frequency or disable your own data sharing notifications relating to joint accounts in My AMP.

I don’t want to share my joint account data, what can I do?

If you don’t want to share your joint account data on accounts held by two or more individuals, you can change your preference to ‘sharing disabled’ following the below steps. Once changed, the account will be unavailable to share, and will be removed from any active consents. Other joint account holders will also not be able to share the joint account data.

Step 1: Log into My AMP and select "Manage data sharing" under your profile in the top left of the screen.

Step 2: Click on “Joint account data sharing”, select ‘Manage’ and disable data sharing.

Once changed, the account will be unavailable to share, and will be removed from any active consents and other joint account holders won’t be able to share the joint account data. If you decide to change your preference back to ‘sharing enabled’, data sharing will not recommence, and a new consent is required to enable data to be shared on the joint account.

When you add, change, or stop a data sharing arrangement, notifications will be sent to the other joint account holders with details of the changes you’ve made. You can manage the frequency or disable your own data sharing notifications relating to joint accounts in My AMP.

How can I view or manage any consent that I’ve given?

You can view and manage your active consents in My AMP. You’ll also be able to view details on any previous consents which have expired or been withdrawn.

Step 1: Log into My AMP and select "Manage data sharing" under your profile in the top left of the screen.

Step 2: Click on the 'Active' or 'Archived' consent you’d like to manage.

Can I authorise another person to share data on my behalf?

As an account holder, you can appoint another person as a secondary user for the purpose of Open Banking if they have third party access to your account with AMP Bank. Any request by the secondary user to initiate data sharing on your account(s) will not be successful unless the secondary user is a third party with full access to your account. 

To appoint someone as a third party with full access to your account, please complete the Third Party Access form. If you’re not sure if the person to be appointed already has access, call us on 13 30 30.

To allow a third party who has been granted full access to initiate and manage data sharing on your behalf you will need to appoint them as a secondary user in My AMP:

Step 1: Log into My AMP and select "Manage data sharing" under your profile in the top right of the screen.

Step 2: Click on “Secondary use data sharing” then select the individual you wish to appoint as a secondary user.

Step 3: You will have the option to appoint this individual as a secondary user and select which accounts they will be able to data share on.

Once you have appointed a secondary user, they will be able to initiate or manage data sharing consent on your behalf. A notification will be sent to you and any other joint owner/s of the account when a secondary user initiates or manages a consent. You will be able to view the details of consents authorised by a secondary user in My AMP.

What data can a secondary user share?

When a secondary user initiates a consent on behalf of someone else, they will be sharing the transactional details of the account as well as their personal customer information such as their name and contact details. As the account holder is not the initiator of the sharing consent, the personal information of the account holder will not be shared. This is except for individual trusts, of which we will share the details of the individual trust and not the secondary user.

How can I manage a secondary user on my account?

As the account owner you will be able view active, expired or withdrawn consents initiated by a secondary user. You will also be able to remove a secondary user’s ability to data share in My AMP at any time by disabling their access.

Step 1: Log into My AMP and select "Manage data sharing" under your profile in the top left of the screen.

Step 2: Click on “Secondary use data sharing” then select the individual you wish to manage as a secondary user.

Step 3: You will have the option to appoint or disable this individual as a secondary user.

As an account owner, you will be able to disable a secondary user to stop them from data sharing on your account. When you disable a secondary user’s ability to data share, all consents authorised by them will cease. If you want the accredited data recipient to continue receiving your data, a new consent will need to be authorised by you, another account holder or another secondary user. If you decide to re-appoint the person as a secondary user, data sharing will not recommence on any consents they previously authorised, and a new consent is required to enable data to be shared by them.

If you remove a third party with full access from your account and this person was enabled as a secondary user, data sharing on consents authorised by this person will cease. If you decide to re-appoint the person as a third party with full access to your account, data sharing will not recommence on any consents they previously authorised, and a new consent is required to enable data to be shared by them.

How can I share data on accounts held in the name of a company, corporate trust, partnership or other organisation?

To share data you must appoint a CDR nominated representative by completing the Open Banking data sharing authority form. This form can also be used to remove someone you’ve appointed in the past. CDR nominated representatives have the authority to initiate and manage data sharing on behalf of the company, corporate trust, partnership, or other organisation in My AMP. You can appoint more than one nominated representative.

Directors/partners can appoint themselves and/or other representatives as CDR nominated representatives using the form.

Directors/partners who aren’t CDR nominated representatives can view details of all data sharing arrangements consented to by nominated representatives in My AMP, but can’t manage data sharing.

To be eligible for nomination, the person/s must have access to the organisation’s account online at My AMP. If they don’t have access, please complete a Third Party Access form for each nominated representative. If you’re not sure if the person to be appointed already has access, call us on 13 30 30.

If an account has multiple nominated representatives, and one is removed, data sharing will continue on behalf of the account holder. Data sharing will cease when all nominated representatives have been removed.

I’ve been appointed as a Power of Attorney, how can I manage data sharing?

If you have been appointed as a Power of Attorney and wish to manage data sharing on the behalf of the account owner, please contact us.
