Consumer data right (CDR)

The ACCC has released the Consumer Data Right Participant Test Strategy for the banking sector.

A critical element of Consumer Data Right is the successful operation of participants’ technology solutions. This Test Strategy outlines the ACCC’s testing approach for new participants prior to on-boarding, and for existing participants to prepare for future releases and ensure continuous integrity and operation of the ecosystem.

The Consumer Data Right Participant Test Strategy is a scalable, automated approach. Participants are expected to have undertaken appropriate internal testing prior to commencing conformance testing.

This Test Strategy supersedes previous test strategies, which included manual, multilateral testing over a number of months.

Questions on the strategy can be sent to CDRTechnicalOperations@accc.gov.au.
