Our Competencies in Financial Data Access (FIDA)
Choose the area that fits your requirements
FIDA API Architecture and Security
The technical implementation of FIDA requires solid API architectures and the highest security standards. We develop secure, flexible, and FIDA-compliant API solutions that optimally combine data protection, performance, and regulatory requirements.
FIDA Audit and Reporting
Ensure complete FIDA compliance through professional audit and reporting services. We support you in implementing monitoring systems, preparing for regulatory examinations, and maintaining continuous compliance documentation.
FIDA Compliance Programmes
The EU Financial Data Access regulation (FIDA) requires banks, insurers and financial institutions with 250+ employees to share customer data with licensed third parties via standardised APIs. A structured compliance programme is essential to meet FDSS membership, consent management and real-time data provision requirements on time.
FIDA Consent Management Solution
The FIDA regulation requires data holders to provide every customer with a permission dashboard – an online interface for monitoring and managing all granted data sharing permissions. We develop consent management systems that combine granular permissions, real-time overviews and simple revocation functions meeting both FIDA and GDPR requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions about FIDA Consulting
What distinguishes FIDA consulting from general open finance advisory?
FIDA consulting focuses on the technical and regulatory implementation of the Financial Data Access regulation within financial institutions. While general open finance advisory addresses strategic questions, specialized FIDA consulting covers concrete API architecture, data access interfaces, consent management systems, and integration into existing core banking systems. ADVISORI combines both perspectives — regulatory understanding of FIDA requirements with practical implementation experience from PSD 2 and open banking projects.
Which financial institutions need FIDA consulting?
FIDA applies to all data holders in the financial sector: banks, insurers, investment firms, pension funds and payment service providers. Fintechs seeking to operate as Financial Information Service Providers (FISPs) also need FIDA consulting for licensing and technical integration. The advisory need is particularly urgent for institutions with legacy systems that require fundamental changes to their data architecture.
How does a FIDA consulting project at ADVISORI work?
A typical FIDA consulting project comprises four phases: First, a readiness analysis with a gap assessment of your current systems and processes. Then strategy development with a technical roadmap and resource planning. In the third phase, implementation support follows with API development, data integration and testing. Finally, we support go-live and continuous optimization.
When is the FIDA regulation expected to come into force?
Trilogue negotiations between the EU Council, Parliament and Commission have been running since April 2025. Formal adoption is expected by mid‑2026, with the implementation deadline for financial institutions starting around late 2027. Given the technical complexity — comparable to PSD 2 — an early start to FIDA preparation is recommended, especially for API architecture and consent management processes.
How does FIDA differ from PSD2 and open banking?
PSD 2 is limited to payment accounts and payment initiation. FIDA extends data access to all financial products: savings accounts, loans, mortgages, insurance, pensions and crypto-assets. FIDA also introduces a compensation model for data holders and creates Financial Information Service Providers (FISPs) as a new licence category. The technical requirements for API security and consent management are significantly more extensive than under PSD2.
What costs are involved in FIDA consulting?
FIDA consulting costs depend on the size of the institution, the complexity of the existing IT landscape and the desired scope. An initial readiness assessment typically takes two to four weeks. Full implementation support extends over several months. ADVISORI offers modular consulting packages tailored to actual needs — from targeted gap assessments to complete project management.
What role do FIDA Schemes play in data sharing?
FIDA Schemes are industry-wide agreements that define technical standards, data formats and compensation models for data exchange. Financial institutions must join at least one FIDA Scheme. The schemes govern API specifications, liability questions and dispute resolution procedures. ADVISORI advises on selecting suitable schemes and the technical integration into your existing infrastructure.
