    As an idea and a technology concept, Account Aggregator (AA) responds to the demands of a digital economy, necessitating the democratization of data for expanding financial services access. With its gradual mainstreaming into the Indian banking parlance, our previous blog post took a deep dive into its origin and the benefits that BFSI institutions stand to reap by being onboard the AA ecosystem. Nevertheless, while the conservatives stand to miss the first-mover advantage to innovate on a platform, that is, by law, the way forward, gaining AA awareness is only winning half the battle! What characterizes an excellent AA solution, and how are the benchmarks defined for a successful implementation for those willing to transform?

    Account Aggregator Framework: A Take Into The Future of Financial Data Sharing
    Business transformation exists at the intersection of enriched customer experience and greater operational control. Nevertheless, while Digital, the motive force behind transition in the 21st century, has made noticeable inroads into the Indian BFSI landscape, significant challenges still persist on both sides of the banking desk. But in the New India that is surging ahead, is it fanciful to imagine a reality where data is democratized, trust is distributed, and the need for confidentiality does not necessarily stymie financial services growth? With the rollout of the Account Aggregator (AA) Framework well underway, such a future might be much nearer than we think!

    Borrowers, Income Analysis and FSA - The Inseparable Trio To Be!
    Evolution into the current human race took over a million years but income analysis of borrowers and lending process would evolve quicker! From the former times of complete paper based analysis to a digital version- we have indeed come a long way.

This dilemma stems from the massive amount of disjoint financial data, a lengthy process, and the shakiness of risk models. In any financial institution, banks or NBFCs, lenders need to assess both, the accounting and finance documentation to know the overall financial position of the borrower’s entity.
