Railz has recently joined the Financial Data Exchange’s (FDX) consortium of members operating in the United States and Canada! FDX’s members consist of notable names in the financial data ecosystem that are dedicated to unifying the financial industry around common technical standards for financial data sharing so that consumers and businesses can leverage their own financial data to make informed financial decisions.
Railz joins Financial Data Exchange (FDX)
What is the Financial Data Exchange (FDX)?
The Financial Data Exchange (FDX) is an independent subsidiary under the umbrella of the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC). FDX is a nonprofit organization dedicated to unifying the financial industry around a common, interoperable, and royalty-free standard for the secure access of user permissioned financial data. To achieve this, Financial Data Exchange has created the aptly named FDX API.
The Financial Data Exchange has an international membership. Their members span financial institutions, financial data aggregators, financial technology companies, payment networks, consumer groups, financial industry groups and utilities and other permissioned parties in the user permissioned financial data ecosystem — and now Railz!
FDX is committed to five core principles for data sharing:
- Control
- Access
- Transparency
- Traceability
- Security
Railz is a member of the FDX for Canada and the US
We are joining FDX in unifying the financial industry and providing secure access to financial data. Our API offers financial data through accounting service providers (ASPs), such as Quickbooks, Sage, Intacct, Intuit, Citadel payroll data provider, MS dynamics, NetSuite, and so much more.
