Frequently Asked Questions about FIDA EU Regulation
What does the FIDA regulation specifically govern?
The FIDA regulation (Financial Data Access) governs the access, sharing and use of certain categories of customer data in the financial sector. It requires data holders such as banks, insurers and investment firms to share customer data via standardized APIs with licensed third parties — provided the customer has given explicit consent. FIDA defines the technical standards, compensation models and liability rules for data exchange.
Which financial data falls under the FIDA regulation?
FIDA covers significantly more data than PSD2. Beyond payment account data, the regulation encompasses savings accounts, loans, mortgages, investment products, insurance contracts, pension entitlements and crypto-assets. FIDA thus covers the full spectrum of financial products and creates a horizontal data access framework for the European financial market.
Who is affected by the FIDA regulation?
The regulation affects three groups: data holders (banks, insurers, investment firms, pension funds), data users (licensed Financial Information Service Providers and other financial service providers) and customers (consumers and businesses). Fintechs wishing to operate as FISPs must also apply for the appropriate licence and meet FIDA requirements.
What is the current FIDA regulation timeline?
The Commission draft was submitted on
28 June 2023. Trilogue negotiations between the EU Council, Parliament and Commission began in April 2025. Formal adoption is expected by mid‑2026. After entry into force, financial institutions will likely have
18 to
24 months for implementation, placing the practical compliance deadline around late
2027 or early 2028.
What are FIDA Schemes and why are they important?
FIDA Schemes are industry-wide agreements that define technical standards, data formats, API specifications and compensation models for data exchange. Every data holder must join at least one FIDA Scheme. The schemes also govern liability questions, dispute resolution procedures and quality standards. They are the operational backbone of the FIDA regulation.
How does FIDA differ from PSD2 and the GDPR?
PSD 2 is limited to payment accounts, FIDA covers all financial products. The GDPR governs general data protection, FIDA defines sector-specific rules for financial data exchange. FIDA complements both frameworks: GDPR consent remains a prerequisite, while FIDA adds additional technical and organizational requirements for standardized data access. FIDA also introduces a compensation model that does not exist under PSD2.
How can financial institutions prepare for the FIDA regulation?
Preparation covers three areas: First, a gap analysis of existing data architecture and API capabilities. Second, developing a FIDA roadmap with technical milestones for API security, consent management and data quality. Third, organizational preparation with governance structures, training programmes and process adjustments. The earlier institutions begin preparation, the smoother the subsequent implementation will be.
