What Consumer Data Right solutions does Cuscal offer?
Significant resources are required to build, maintain, and uplift the technical platforms and operational processes that underpin the Consumer Data Right (CDR). As a reliable CDR partner, Cuscal provides the infrastructure and connectivity solutions businesses need to connect to this open data ecosystem.
Cuscal has leveraged nearly 60 years of experience managing sensitive payments data, to create solutions that help businesses comply with CDR. These include data holder, data recipient and data holder production verification testing.
Let Cuscal bear the burden of compliance, so you can focus on what you do best.

What is Open Banking?
Open Banking refers to the application of the Consumer Data Right (CDR) to the banking sector. It refers broadly to the sharing of banking data via the CDR ecosystem.
Since banking was the first sector to participate in the CDR ecosystem, you may hear people use the phrase ‘Open Banking’ interchangeably with the ‘Consumer Data Right’, but it is just one subset of the CDR regime.
Banking data such as transaction history, scheduled payments and account balances contain a lot of information about how we live our lives and spend our money. Making this data shareable under CDR means Australian businesses can create a wide range of competitive products, features and customer experiences.
