Al Etihad Payments partners Core42 to launch open finance across the UAE

 

The  Etihad Payments, the payments subsidiary of the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates (CBUAE), has entered into a strategic partnership with Core42 to lead the rollout of open finance across the UAE financial system. 


Operating as part of the CBUAE's multi-year Financial Infrastructure Transformation program, Al Etihad Payments and Core42 will work closely together to establish global interoperability standards for the emerging open finance sector in the country. Their goal is to launch initial open banking and open insurance solutions that will be made accessible to the vast majority of individual customers and businesses in the UAE by the end of 2024. 


Core42, which is part of Abu Dhabi-based AI firm G42, will provide the core technology infrastructure and consulting services to modernize financial data sharing and third-party access in accordance with open finance principles. UK-based open banking API specialists Ozone API and Raidiam will also contribute their expertise as part of a technology consortium led by Core42 to support the CBUAE's vision.


 Officials believe the new open finance ecosystem will help accelerate the adoption of digital financial services nationwide while simultaneously making products and data more safe, diverse and customer-centric. Once complete, the initiative aims to establish the UAE as a leader in Open Finance among Gulf and Middle Eastern markets.
