Open Banking

Eligible customers

To share your personal details you must meet the following criteria:

• Be 18 years or over
• Have at least one open Newcastle Permanent account
• Be registered for our app or internet banking.

Note: At this time, data sharing is not available for accounts where the owner is not an individual e.g. owner of the account is a trust or a company.

CDR account eligibility

To share your account data:

• All owners must be eligible customers
• Your account has to be open, or closed in the last 2 years.

When you give an accredited provider permission to access your data held with your bank (e.g. Newcastle Permanent), a Data Sharing Arrangement is created between:

• The bank who holds the data (E.g. Newcastle Permanent),
• The accredited third-party who will receive the data, and
• The customer who owns the data and is approving for it to be shared.

If you are an eligible CDR customer you will be able to select eligible accounts for sharing . The details of the Data Sharing Arrangement will be displayed, including; the accounts, requested data and data sharing period.

By selecting “I confirm”, you are agreeing to share your Newcastle Permanent data with the accredited organisation.

Once the new Data Sharing Arrangement is established you will be re-directed back to the accredited organisation, who will now be receiving your data.

Eligible joint accounts can be shared to accredited third-parties by any account owner. All accounts are defaulted to 'enabled for data sharing'. Should one joint account owner wish to disable an account from being shared they can do so via internet banking or the app.

If you are not registered for internet banking, your account cannot be shared as it is not CDR eligible.

If you choose to disable your account, the account will be removed from any active Data Sharing Arrangements and all account owners will be notified.

To re-enable an account for data sharing, all account owners will need to log into internet banking and confirm.

To disable a joint account from data sharing:

1. Log into internet banking.
2. Navigate to Settings>Manage Data Sharing> Account Permissions Dashboard.
3. Find the joint account you want to disable and click the three dots to the left, then select “Disable Data Sharing”.
4. Confirm the action and the account will now be disabled from data sharing.

3. Find the joint account you want to enable and click the three dots to the left, then select “Enable Data Sharing”.
4. By confirming the action, all joint account owners will be notified and asked to log into internet banking and accept the change, following the steps above.
5. Once all account owners have accepted the change, the account will be enabled for sharing.
6. Note: All account owners have to accept the change within 2 days. The account will be enabled for sharing once all account owners have accepted the change.

Note: All account owners have to accept the change within 2 days. If all account owners do not accept the change, or the time expires the account will remain disabled for sharing.

Once you have established a Data Sharing Arrangement with an accredited organisation, you can view and manage the Data Sharing Arrangement in internet banking.

Where joint account data has been shared, all account owners can view the Data Sharing Arrangement. Only the initiator of the Data Sharing Arrangement can cancel it.
