Open Banking allows you to take control of your banking data and share it securely with accredited organisations. It was introduced by the Australian Government under legislation called the Consumer Data Right (CDR).
You can choose to share some of your banking data with accredited organisations so they can provide you with an appropriate product or service. You could share your banking data with other organisations for services such as product comparison, tailored product recommendations, finding the best deal on your banking services, budgeting, consolidation of your accounts, and other services.
A list of all the accredited organisations is available on the Australian Government’s CDR website here.
You can choose which data you want to share, and how long you want to share it for (e.g. for 3 months, 6 months, or up to 12 months).
Client Data (upon your consent)
Rabobank also makes available to anyone our standardised product data, to facilitate services such as market-wide product comparisons.

Joint accounts are already enabled for data sharing and you won’t need approval from other account holders to set up data sharing arrangements with accredited organisations (unless you or any other account holder disabled your account for data sharing – learn more here).
You can change your data sharing preferences or stop a data sharing arrangement at any time. If you choose to disable your account for data sharing, then you and all other account holders will need to agree to re-enable it.
To re-enable data sharing:
Farm Business clients who are individuals, sole traders and joint account holders can choose another person (such as an authorised signatory) as a ‘secondary user’ to manage data sharing on their behalf. Your secondary user will be able to set up data sharing arrangements with accredited organisations without further approval, and you’ll be able to stop them from sharing your account information at any time.

Our CDR policy provides information about how Rabobank manages data under the CDR. It describes how you can access and correct your CDR data, as well as how you can make a complaint about how we handle your CDR data.
All participating CDR organisations must be accredited by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) before they are able to request data on your behalf. This accreditation process includes testing to ensure that participating organisations meet certain security standards. As an active data holder, Rabobank must also adhere to these standards.
You can find the list of all the accredited organisations on the Australian Government’s CDR website here.
Once your Rabobank banking data has been shared with an accredited organisation, it is no longer managed by us. Please refer to the accredited organisation’s Consumer Data Right policy for details on how they manage your data.
