OFDSS is a proposed framework of security requirements for emerging, cloud-native financial technology companies that handle consumer financial information.
Very excited to work with @OpenAI to launch Finances in ChatGPT!
AI is transforming how consumers interact with their finances. This is an important step towards bringing sophisticated, personalized financial advice to more people.
Operation Chokepoint 3.0
Under the Biden administration, Operation Chokepoint 2.0 tried to debank and deplatform crypto:

That era has ended, but now the banks are about to implement their own Chokepoint 3.0 — charging insanely high fees to access data or move money to crypto and fintech apps, and more concerningly blocking crypto and fintech apps they don’t like:

JP Morgan Chase is an $800B company. Make no mistake: this isn’t about a new revenue stream. It’s about strangling competition. And if they get away with this, every bank will follow.
Dodd-Frank Section 1033 guarantees that consumers have rights to their data, and it’s the CFPB’s job to enforce. The CFPB under Biden did some bad things, but upholding 1033 preserved consumer choice and competition.
The crazy thing is sometimes this “data” is just your account number and routing code. That’s right: information that’s printed on the bottom of every check, if delivered electronically, somehow should require tremendous fees paid to banks that were collectively bailed out by taxpayers a mere 17 years ago.
If it suddenly costs $10 to move $100 into a Coinbase or Robinhood account — maybe fewer people will do it. Or if it costs $10 to get a cheaper loan from a fintech, maybe you’ll be forced to take a crappier one by JPM. And maybe JPM and others will just refuse to let consumers connect their own freely chosen crypto and fintech apps to their bank account.
In a perfect world, consumers would vote with their wallets and leave JPM. But every bank will likely do this, and getting a new banking charter takes years. Many banks have hostages, not customers.
We don’t need a new law; we just need the administration to prevent this callous and manipulative attempt to kill competition and consumer choice.
This week, @OFDSS_Official published a new version of the framework (version 1.2) 🙌
With our recently released Custom Frameworks, you can now pursue frameworks like OFDSS in Drata!
The OFDSS plays an important role in supporting the creation and adoption of new services by providing a clear and rigorous security framework for market participants to follow. This benefits banks, fintechs, and the customers they serve ... @kieran_hines @Celent_Research
