The term can also refer to allowing a third party to initiate transactions from a customer's account, such as sending a payment or withdrawing money. The government said it would soon table framework legislation that will expand FCAC's mandate and establish rules and regulations. The budget promises that consumer-driven banking will protect Canadians and the financial system from risky practices like screen-scraping. The framework will establish oversight of financial data sharing activities and address security risks, it said.
