Transformative impact of Open Finance

Open Finance is revolutionizing how users handle payments, seek credit, and manage their finances. According to the official press release, clients through Lean’s regulated platform will enjoy features like instant account-to-account transfers, expedited loan approvals, and advanced financial tools that prioritize transparency, ease of use, and control.
