A tenet of open banking is customers having control of their own data. The name of South Korea’s forthcoming MyData initiative captures the concept succinctly.

It’s even poised to extend into sectors like telecommunications, healthcare and energy. And the success of transaction initiation via MyPayment depends on it.
