We expect that the accredited certificate-based open banking, which is actively deployed in recent times, will solve the Galapagosization problem of the existing accredited certificate-based closed banking by supporting standard communication protocol and web compatibility. However, it is questionable how much the open banking will answer the security and usability problems of the existing closed banking. This paper is focused on analyzing the differences between the existing closed banking and the open banking, and then evaluates how much the security and usability problems of the existing closed banking are resolved by the open banking. The study firstly analyzes the security vulnerabilities raised in the process of providing closed banking services for the past 15 years or more, the countermeasures applied to enhance security, and the convenience impact of countermeasures. And then, the security and convenience of the open banking is inferred by analyzing the implementation difference between the closed banking and the open banking. The paper also briefly discusses how to improve the open banking to resolve the remaining problems of the open banking.

The EU, the United Kingdom and South Korea are actively pursuing open banking to open financial information to fintech companies for financial structure reform and convenience of financial consumers. As open banking is gradually activated, the importance of stability and protecting users of open banking will increase. In particular, Korea has an electronic financial transaction law that has been in effect since 2007 to secure the stability and reliability of electronic financial transactions, but it is difficult to apply to participating organizations in open banking, so there is a risk of preventing security accidents and weakening user protection in open banking. Therefore, this paper examines the foreign legal system of open banking and analyzes the structure and characteristics of domestic open banking and suggests the ways to improve regulations necessary to strengthen open banking stability and user protection.

With the full implementation of open banking in which both banks and fintech companies participate, changes in the whole society such as new types of products, services, and businesses are taking place. Whenever new systems and environments change, research on technology acceptance by system users has been continued, and this study also verified how the characteristics of open banking affect the perceived ease of use and usefulness of the Technology Acceptance Model, and the intention to use open banking. As a result of the study, it was found that both information provision, service interactivity, and system stability had a significant effect on perceived ease of use, usefulness, and intention to use open banking. In the future, open banking may bring significant benefits to data sharing, financial access, banking infrastructure, product innovation and pricing, but it is also expected to bring unexpected damage. Therefore, domestic financial institutions should actively cope with the situation where the business environment is greatly changing due to the digital environment change, and at the same time actively foster fintech companies and promote innovation in the financial industry.

Open banking, the global trend of the financial industry, is the driving force behind various innovations in the financial market in the future. The right policy direction and detailed tasks are important for triggering the differentiation and reunion of the financial industry. The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the background of open banking, domestic and international trends, and Korea's open banking policy. The policy directions and tasks for successful settlement and activation of open banking system are carefully suggested. Open banking is a policy to allow third party provider(TPP) access to bank accounts and open payment functions under the explicit consent of the customer. The opening of the open banking era is expected to begin competition and cooperation between banks and fintech companies in earnest, thus enhancing the competitiveness of the financial industry and contributing to the utility of financial consumers. To this end, policymakers should make every effort to advance open-ended financial settlement infrastructure, open banking legal grounds, and minimize side effects such as customer data leakage and poor financial system stability. Banks and fintech companies will need to focus on scattered customer financial information on a single platform and develop it into a convergence and discrimination of true financial services.

The main channels of the financial industry are rapidly changing to mobile. In this environment, banks are focusing on information and communication technology to secure their competitiveness, and rapid innovation is being pursued especially in the payment settlement sector. In October 2019, Korea also introduced open banking services to accelerate the financial innovation, such as the open conversion of financial settlement networks and the expansion of the use of simple payments. In this paper, an empirical study was conducted on the effect of domestic open banking quality factors on usage intention. The service quality factors for open banking were classified into interface design, innovation, security, and data sharing, and the technology acceptance model (TAM) was used to verify whether it has a significant effect on perceived convenience, usefulness and intention to use. According to the analysis results, while innovation and security did not have a significant effect on convenience and usefulness, interface design and data sharing were found to have an effect on perceived convenience. The results would provide implications for some quality issues for companies seeking to introduce open banking services as well as for the related academic arena.

The fourth industrial revolution and digital transformation are also bringing major changes to the financial ecosystem in Korea. Already, global financial firms overseas are opening their financial markets and exploring new financial businesses by seeking ways to co-prosperity with fintech firms. However, it is also true that the domestic financial environment has failed to respond to the changes due to its monopolistic and closed structure. In response, the government began pushing for the introduction of open banking in December 2019 with the aim of fully opening the financial settlement system. However, unlike the existing simple financial transaction structure, open banking still has an unresolved part due to the unclear relationship of responsibilities between interested parties in the event of financial accidents due to the complex linkage structure of transactions such as financial firms, fintech firms and customers. This study analyzed the security threat of open banking in depth. By doing so, the government and financial firms want to present policy proposals that need to be improved to enhance the safety of open banking in korea and protect financial consumers, as well as new financial models that have improved the vulnerable parts of existing models.

In line with the trend of the digital transformation, the financial sector is providing financial services with new technologies. Among them, the open banking, which is drawing attention from global financial industry, is a service environment that maximizes customers' convenience and data utilization. In addition, the shift in the digital paradigm has also increased anxiety that security problems such as hacking and information leakage caused by data sharing are also concerned. A failure to overcome the negative view will hinder the development of financial services. This study presents a security governance system that can safely and comprehensively manage data in a digital financial ecosystem. This prepares a technical application plan by presenting a digital financial security architecture to field workers, focusing on the open banking service environment. It can be seen that this study is worthwhile by presenting a comprehensive information protection system that allows financial IT to introduce and utilize open banking services in a changing environment.
