đ MasterCard added a suite of open banking technology partners in its Engage partner platform.
These providers will partner with MasterCard to help financial institutions and fintech develop payment and lending products.

This private application of open banking allows RBC customers to access 7,500 third-party applications via the data aggregators.
đ EQ Bank in Canada partners with the Canadian data aggregator Flinks to deliver open banking.
