A new board of regulators comprising the Financial Conduct Authority and the Competition and Markets Authority will oversee the deployment and regulation of open banking technology.

The body’s future has remained uncertain ever since, as prominent voices in town such as Starling chief Anne Boden called the whole project a flop.
