Consumer Data Right
Non-Bank Lending Under Australia's Consumer Data Right: Latest Updates
Australia’s Consumer Data Right (CDR) is expanding to include non-bank lenders—here’s what it means, key compliance timelines, and how Fiskil can help streamline the transition.
Australia's Consumer Data Right (CDR) is set to expand, bringing non-bank lenders into its fold. This move aims to enhance consumer choice and foster competition in the financial sector. Here's what non-bank lenders need to know about the upcoming changes.
CDR Expansion Timeline
The Australian Government has outlined a clear timeline for non-bank lenders to comply with CDR obligations:
- Product Data Sharing: Starting 13 July 2026, non-bank lenders must share product information, enabling consumers to compare offerings more effectively.
- Consumer Data Sharing: Rolling out in four phases from 9 November 2026 to 13 September 2027, beginning with larger non-bank lenders and less complex data requests.
Scope and Compliance
To balance consumer benefits with industry feasibility, the scope of data sharing has been refined:
- Historical Data Limitations: Data holders are required to share consumer transaction data only for transactions within the past two years.
- Exclusions: Certain niche products and data deemed of low value to consumers are excluded from mandatory sharing, reducing compliance burdens.
