What is the Interbank Account Data Sharing (IADS) ?
The IADS programme is formulated by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and launched with the support of the banking industry. The IADS programme has established the rules and standards facilitating interbank customer-consented data sharing. This allows customers to securely and efficiently share their bank account data from one participating bank (Data Providing Bank) to other participating banks (Data Consuming Bank), subject to customer consent. Account data sharing could help digitalise banking operations, strengthen risk management of banks, and enhance customer experience.
