In order to support the delivery of open finance, the FCA has launched 2 new TechSprints and announced a new partnership with Raidiam.
The partnership with Raidiam follows the launch of its Smart Data Accelerator in September 2025 – an extension of the sandbox which allows for the testing of real open finance use cases in practice – and will allow firms participating in the Accelerator to simulate and test data sharing.
The TechSprints will run between 17 November 2025 and 12 February 2026, focussing on mortgages and finance for SMEs respectively. The sprints are open for registration until 2 November 2025.
The FCA aims to set out a roadmap for open finance by March 2026.
